i may be completely mad, but i have been thinking about replacing our current news server (sparc 10/40 running sunos 4.1.4, 64MB mem, 8GB spool) with a pentium running freebsd. ideally, we'd like to use an ibm pc server 320 with a raid, and 64MB. but after poking around the mailing list archives, i'm not too hopeful this will be a viable option. (i stick my tongue out at adaptec for not releasing docs on the 3985, which is just what i need.) i guess i could move the news server to solaris 2.5 and use online disksuite to do "software raid," but i'm too used to bsd systems and would probably become very sick and puke all over my keyboard if i was forced to deal with solaris for any extended time period. so, should i shut up and be happy with the ss10? or would a switch be reasonable? -matt
