    I know absolutely nothing about linux. That is also not to say that I know much about current novell. My main job is treasurer, but we are a small company so I am IT as well. My biggest reason for staying with novell is to easily be able to migrate my programs and data to the new server...

    Thanks for the suggestions. I have not ruled out IBM by any means. I would probably go with one of their tower models with hot swap and internal tape. Again, there prices were significantly higher than Dell, but I am wary of going with Dell because of perceived reliability. This will be a...

    Thanks... I am not sure that I am that paranoid yet. :D Sounds similar to Raid 15. As long as I have a good tape back up with disaster recovery, I should be fine with Raid 1. That should save me well over $1500 alone. What is the most preferred current tape solution? Right now we are...

    Yea, that is exactly what would scare me. Have one of there suppposed "techs" sitting on the phone to the same lame CS that I would get. I guess the old adage "you get what you pay for" holds true for the server market. Maybe I will just settle on raid 1, that option should save some money...

    I am in a similar situation. I will be shortly tasked with upgrading our file server. Has anyone on this board used the Dell servers? I like the suggestion of using a HP proliant but the costs seem to be pretty steep. Almost $3000 more for a similarly configured Dell (hot swap, raid 10...

    Can someone give me a good, solid reason why I should not buy a Powerbook G4 laptop?

    For me, this next laptop will be a desktop replacement for the home. My wife is sick of the big clunky mid-tower and wants a laptop. I really can't argue either, since a lappy will be very convenient as we already have a wireless network set up at the house. Having the option to game is...

    Can someone give me a good, solid reason why I should not buy a Powerbook G4 laptop?

    I am oviously the idiot here. I read through almost all of the posts in this thread hoping to get some information to make a centrino vs. powerbook decision. Out of 100 plus there were only two or three that gave honest unbiased experience rather than bickering. For whoever posted it, is it...

    Apple Powerbook or wait for Intel Centrino lineup

    I would consider the VPR if it could be configured with a better video card. I think it is cr@p that you can't customize these things. I really would like to get a lappy with a widescreen display and this VPR and Powerbooks are the only games in town. Best Regards. M
