[WBEL-users] SATA + RAID 1 + Samba PDC + Suitability

[Jon Hill]

Andrew

I originally setup the machine 6 months ago and then I chose Fedora Core 2 
because it supported the Promise controller. Normally I would have chosen a 
less cutting edge distro for the purpose. The PDC worked well, but I have had 
a disk failure and had problems with the boot loader and the way I had 
configured the RAID setup. So, I am now considering WBEL, if it can handle 
the hardware.

I can probably offer help on the PDC setup. I only had requirements for 
Windows XP clients so I have no experience of trying to get it to work with 
more than one type of Windows setup.
