Decided to check it out soon as I walked through the door. It has Red
Hat on it and it's checking the filesystem right now. Has been for about
6 minutes now. :-O
It has Four (4) Xeon 550 processors and 2GB of ram. Much louder than my
one tower, but not louder than the fridge when it's doing its thing! :-)
As far as the Windows Home Server, not quite ready to buy yet another OS.
:-O Especially since I have a collection here already.
Thanks Jim
