Re: finally won with LINUX

[Kevin Colby <kevinc grainsystems com>]

I'd seriously consider talking to someone like VA if you're
fairly new to Linux and yet want to setup some serious
RAID configurations.  You can go with a lot of build-your-own
from equipment suppliers, but you might find configuring
the system to properly support all the hardware daunting.
Bigger name vendors like VA can help a lot more with that
sort of thing.

Of course, it's up to you, and that's the point.
