I've successfully setup my NetServer LH3R with
Windows2000 but am now looking towards installing Suse 9.1 instead since
Suse 9.1 has so many more possibilities built into it. The server specs are
(in case these are needed): 2xPentium III 500MHz, 1GB RAM, 6x9GB HDs
(currently configured as 2 HDs for a RAID1 making a drive of 9GB, and the
rest as RAID5 for 27GB) and 2x10/100 *Intel(r) PRO/100+ Management Adapter*,
the RAID controller is a embedded HP NetRAID controller. First question
is...anyone have any idea if the hardware will work OK with Suse 9.1? Second
question is, I'd like all the drives to appear as one 54GB HD, what RAID
setup should I use to accomplish this? Thanks! :)

Go and get SuSe 10.0...it's free for download and supports more RAID cards/configurations than 9.1.
