[ale] Decisions, decisions!!!

[Jack Schneider]

Hi, List
Just a update on the new work station. ?Surprise, Surprise!
The Box came with Intel EM64T ?Xeon Quad-core ?3.2 ghz.... ?No extra $ 8-)? So 
some rethinking of the plan is needed... ? The Debian Etch install went 
without a hitch, updated and with NVIDIA drivers. Great Advice.. 
Thanks...Scott Castaline of this list..
Just need the get used to the gnome default stuff... ?I don't intend to add 
much... ?I have decided to run Virtual Box on it... ?So that's next... One 
small decision needed... ? Raid0 or Raid1 or none of the above....??Looking 
at the system, it reports Sata I/O of 1.6gbs on each disk. ??? Is that OK? 
Sounds good to me.. .? My question is, am I missing an opportunity to get 
better VB performance if I don't do raid at all???? ?If Raid, which one??
and why?
Any thought's will be appreciated.
 Have a great day..
 Jack
