I installed Red Hat from about V 3.2 . I must admit they have excellent tech 
support. I will never forget one install that wouldn't go right, weird 
error.. Called em up, he looked in his database to find that that version, I 
think it was 3.2 or 3.4 only support file systems of 1TB or LESS. I counted 6 
300Gb drives in the rack.... hmmm...

LIKE it!
