unix: Dell Poweredge 1850, Xeon processor, 1GB ram, ~15 GB hard drive, Megaraid. Running slackware with a 2.4 kernel. Missing many common utilities.
file: Dell Poweredge 2800, Xeon processor, 1GB ram, ~130 GB hard drive, Megaraid. Running slackware with a 2.6 kernel.
Concern: Slackware has weak package management.
Possible solution: Suse Enterprise Linux is supported for these machines. Unclear if openSuse can handle it. Other linux solutions have mixed reports about getting the raid working.
Question: How useful is the hardware raid?
