Hey Todd,
Thanks for your reply. If I read your response correctly, you're suggesting I can run Open-e off a USB drive in a prodiction enviormnment? I never really considered it, but assuming it will save all the configs, I suppose it should work just fine. My initial trial was based off a read only boot from an ISO burned to CD.

I was previously attemting to install Open-e on a 2GB RAID, but kept running into this blasted egrep error.

Device Type: Intel Mainboard S3420GPX
