I do run it on all of my other machines. Unfortunately the specific |

machine that is being upgraded has a 3ware hardware raid controller which |

got in there much more on a string of bad luck then by design. |

I'm going to be adding an AMI Megarac g2 remote access card to the server |
| 23 |
and I'll be hoping that there won't be any compatibility issues as with |
| 24 |

|
| 26 |
The 2 major motives for the upgrade is the increasing use of |
| 27 |
virtualization on that server, and the Megarac g2 RAC. |
