I installed Sarge on a new server and it works fine. I will use mainly for mail relay and DNS. Also, I was glad to finally see support for creating software raid devices (and even boot from them) on the debian installer (setting / on a software raid can be a real pain fi you're not paying attention to the whole process) > > Also, it's to be checked, but it seems that when installing a Sarge with > raid setup, it doesn't setup grub to write the mbr on BOTH drives (it > seems it's only writing on hd0). Am I right on that point?
