Then, if the live machine fails,you just have to restart the mirror mini, and you areback in business. (I haven't tried it but it soundsinteresting anyway) It's not a redundant power supply,hot swap unit, but on a budget....Now, I'm sure someone very adept in Linux couldprobably find cheaper solutions that are just asgood or better... but not everyone is a linuxOS guru.Things like the mac Activity Monitor and console, maketroubleshooting server problems quite a bit easier forfolks without years of linux administration. Of course,you have to be at the machine location to use thoseutilities!Anyway, I feel like a talkative Apple rep today! ;-)..but I had better get back to work!Donovan-- Donovan D.
