I just got news from my aunt that a good friend of mine died last night in PA.  He was a truck driver for Ward Trucking, his run was Wilkes-Barre to Columbus and back.  I believe he was the second most senior man at that terminal. Not everyone liked Gary, but he was a good man and I got along great with him.  He would sling bullshit around left and right, but wouldn't take an ounce of it from anyone.  I feel like I'm writing a euligy...Suffice it to say he was a good man and will definately be missed. 

I'm having a hell of a time getting a new system built. I spent three hours trying to get RedHat Enterprise 4 to recognize a fiber controller that appears to work fine, but the damn thing won't work.  No matter what I do I can't get the installer to see the drive.  I've googled the hell out of this and come up empty.  I'm going to take a gamble tomorrow and install the system without the fibre array, then after install I'll be able to do a little more as far as loading drivers etc.  If this approach works the great, if not I'll have pissed away a full day on this and have to switch to a standard SCSI controller...just not as elegant if you ask me.  We'll see.
