So far, so good. No gotchas during the process of setting it up. The machine has 3 disks - one with the system on it, and the other two in a volume with the mail spool on it. The 2150 has been a nice unit to us so far, but we've not been able to get it under load yet. It's smaller brother (the 1100) is another one we have 4.1-RELEASE running on. Everything there is peachy too.
