yes....that's the reason why I'm going to go with CentOS the hp drivers and
software are for RHEL and CentOS is I believe based on the open sources of RHEL
and was reading in some forums about someone with same server saying the RAID
controllers and software packages supplied by HP worked ok with
CentOS.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

because it was free BUT there was the option of commercial support at a later
