Installing Arch i686 on my Compaq ProLiant 5500. Will it detect the..
I got a Compaq ProLiant 5500 and going to install Arch on it for a web/email server so will it detect the SCSI's out of box or what?
Also, how should I partition my drives for it? It'll be a web/mail/dns/dhcp server.

The driver for SCSI drives is in the ARch kernel so it shouldn't be a problem. I have a scsi-drive on one of my computer's and it has no problems. As how to partition, I'd look at one of the BSD-guides. Alot of BSD's are used for mail servers and have good advice on how to partition. If i remember correctly you'll want partitions for /, /tmp, and /var... Here, I done looked it up for ya
