Oooh, this is good news. I like Debian. :)

Hmmm. Then I'd have to find some Voodoo2 cards. Also pondering whether any
standard cheap SE/LVD SCSI cards will work, since I'd have an easier time
of getting external non-HVD storage. Although I'm reminded that I have a
pair of 28GB RSM214 arrays that are HVD out. Heh.

I think I will try to get the batch this weekend, if I can make room in
the van for them. 

Thanks again all for your help and advice!
