[School] School Server

I have a Compaq DL-380 for the school. I have tried 3 distributions on it so 
far and the one that likes it best is Suse 10.0. FC5 refused to see the SCSI 
array even when I manually loaded the cpqarray driver. Centos 4 loaded up ok, 
but only saw one of the two processors.

Right now, with Suse 10.0 on it and starting at run level 3 in /etc/inittab, 
it has 36 processes running. That's not too bad considering that I have not 
done any tweaking yet.

My criteria for selecting the distribution was:

RPM based.
Installs and finds the SCSI array.
See's both processors.

My preference would be FC5 but I have yet to get it to find the array no 
matter which driver I select. I'm kind of surprised given this model of 
server was one of Compaq's most popular and has been around for a few years.

I may try Debian as well.
