Well actually I just got off the phone with Chris.  He's going to get me
the extra RAM, so when I take the cover off, I'll snap one for ya.  (This
is great, I acutally have a use for the digital camera I won! :-)

BTW, before I do anything drastic, (like delete the partitions and start
from scratch)  How should this thing be partitioned?

We've got two 9GB disks.  I was planning on setting up mirroring on these
(printing out the software raid & boot raid howto's now).  I was thinking
500M for root, 128M for swap.  Not sure what to do with the rest 8+GB.  Do
we want one large partition, or do we want to split things up more???

I'm planning on RH 5.2 with the latest VAR "special" modular kernel
(2.0.36).
