I have already configured the Raid-1 but I will have a second look  into
the BIOS and the QLogic suff, which is installed.  I know,  that  I  can
configure the THing from Windos using a  Software,  but  does  the  JAVA
Stuff work on Debian and can it make workable over the LOCAL network?

I like to update my Admin Server to have only one Machine to login.

My words.  ;-)

My two biggest machines are running each 4 Adaptec AAC-364 (240 HDDs  in
total per server) and have not leaved me since  years...  and  was  less
expensive as a "Ready-To-Use" IBM or Sun.  (one of them  is  my  private
Debian Archive Server)
