Nope.. uhf is was running 2.2.2-R, and is now running 3.0-971003-SNAP with a 1.0 GB and a 6.4 GB EIDE drive. The only problem I had is that it only has a 486/120 CPU on an older motherboard and the BIOS doesn't support >2 GB paritions, so I had to chop the 6.4GB drive into 4 partitions. Expect to be buying a dual PPro-166 soon, so I'll be able to reformat and hopefully make use of Ultra-ATA (the 6.4 GB is Ultra-ATA compliant). The only question I have is, is wether the new LX chipset supports Ultra-ATA.. Sure would be nice.. Anyone know? To address your point regarding CPU speed. We did a startup with two P5-133's.. One machine as web server/primary dns, other machine as secondary DNS, incoming call processor. Also had a P5-150 or 166 (I forget now), as a news server. The 133's were plenty fast for the task, but the news server was a tad bit slow. Bernie
