i'm trying to build a small server for a client moving up from a WIN95 server. all the offerings i've found on FreeBSD vendor sites are for way too much system. this system only has to run samba and act like a dumb file server. the only thing that makes this the least bit unusual is that its for a cemetery and the reliability must be VERY HIGH. therefore i'm interested in using RAID 1. i've found a motherboard/RAID controller combination at the right price point: SuperMicro P6SBU which includes an Adaptec RaidPort III interface that i would use with their ARO-1130CA RAID controller. This combination should allow me to package a system for under $3500...at this price i think i can sell a few dozen systems. in addition, (if you're still reading ;)) i'd like to put some kind of CD-RW on this package for making backups. the cost of a CD is small relative to the security of knowing that if the system melts down they can take the CD to any WIN95 desktop and keep working until i get them a new machine. i'd appreciate any help you can provide, (willing to pay for advice too.) thanks, kim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
