Fedora Core 5 x86_64, actually.

So far, no luck with a RAID solution for eCS that doesn't involve 
ancient technology.  I thought I was onto something with a PNY card, 
with 3 or 5 drives, but though eCS could see it (if memory serves - it's 
been a while), there was no way for the card to tell the OS that a drive 
had failed, and in order to rebuild a failed drive, you had to run a 
Windows utility...

Useless!
