I think I'll get one of these come ~July/August.  Although I
can get the same value in a smaller drive, I am likely running
out of hard drive bays by now, and buying the larger one means
that I don't need to stuff around with swapping drives later on.
My messagebases are currently 273 meg total, with the largest,
AUST_AVTECH, being 65 meg.  I think I would make 3 logical
drives, one 2 gig and two 1 gigs.  I don't think going above
2 gig is a good idea, given the value of a signed long on my
platform!  I want 1 gig for Linux, assuming I can install Linux
on the 4th hard disk in my system?  BFN.  Paul.
