Thanks for the quick response. :) Actually I was looking through the
specifications of x226 and also found it to be quite "normal" x86
hardware; even though, I'm always in doubt about some server specific
things like RAID or gigabit ethernet; most notably I read quite some
disturbing facts in a German debian forum about the IBM ServeRAID 7e
controller. Any hints on those, anyone? :)
TIA and bye,
