Ok double barrelled question here. Im relatively a newbie when it comes to linux so excuse me if I sound a bit dumb. 1) hows linux for sata raids (mirrored). Am I going to hit any snags? Are there any particular boards/chipsets to stay clear of? Im plumping for a Intel-32bit cpu (possibly a Prescott 3.2ghz) 2) how easy is linux to setup to do a regular (3 times a week) tape backup. It doesn't have to be automatic or anything complicated like that, but it does have to be easy enough to do so I can teach a client who's not terrifically pc literate. Also, would the webmin interface allow remote access to tape backup? I know I could probably google most of the information I needed if I looked hard enough, but its late and im tired and im meant to know for sometime tomorrow. So basically ive left it until last minute to get the info required and now I don't have time. I have every faith in you!!!
