Justin,

That sounds great and I look forward to your info. You appear to be an
experienced Linux user. For those of us who have never given Linux a try,
can you point us towards some resources for learning how to do the install
and set-up or is it self evident when you buy the software? I take it Red
Hat is your flavor of choice.

Also can you give us your opinion as to what is needed in terms of hardware
for a Linux/QTR2 server. CPU speed, RAM and disk space requirements?

Thanks,
Martin
