Actually, when it comes down to it ... my main reason for the Linux upgrade was to keep myself current ... upgrading gets harder the more releases back you are. My <a href="http://david.fallingrock.net/2006/01/15/linux-upgrade/" rel="nofollow">upgrade from Redhat 8 to Fedora Core 4</a> was pretty hairy. I want to avoid that kind of thing in the future.

Over the holidays, well shortly before, the backplane went in my Dell PE6850, and destroyed the RAID setup. Fortunately I have a gold level plan with Dell, and they had a tech out in 4 hours, new backplane, and forced just one of the drives back online and rebuilt the array. I've been keeping my fingers off my personal server for the same reason as above, I'm waiting to get another server to have in place before I try anything ;) Glad to hear you have all up and running again though.
