I guess that you do YAHOO!!!!!!!!

More on topic to Conspire, the Dell Optplex that we set up as a samba 
server the
other week at the CABAL meeting is working well at work. I still need 
to work on
a few permission issues but otherwise it works well. As a result, the 
boss ok'ed my
getting a couple of  160GB drives to set up the second box and later 
retrofit the
first box.

I am putting the two Samsung 160GB IDE drives into the second Dell 
Optiplex
Pentium II 266 box and am going to put Debian into it with software 
RAID1 to mirror
the drives. I will need to get a Y cable for powering the second drive 
and I have
changed out the IDE cable for the second IDE channel which only had a 
single
drive connector for a longer one with two drive connectors. I changed 
the CD ROM
from cable select to slave so both hard disks will be masters on their 
respective
channels. I will have to fashion a bracket to hold the second disk 
drive as the
computer did not come with the bracket for the second hard disk, though 
they
made them.
