I think we are going to use RAID-1 with the two drives.  See below under
"Hard Drive Configuraton" and "2nd Hard Drive."  Does this mean we'll only
really have 36 GB of storage because the second drive will be a mirror?

Thanks for reminding me.  The plan is to go with RHAS.  I think we need
that for either dual processor or to access loads o' RAM -- can't remember
which it is.
