Hello Gregory,

Please tell me, as much as you are confortable  with, 
about your ARM servers....


Running Gentoo?  Running Embedded Gentoo?  Which kernels? 
HDD ? File Systems? Configurations, Grub 2? LVM, RAID ?
Typical usage?


What install docs did you follow?
Any suggestions on setting up ARM servers, cluster,
and such are most welcome.

etc etc etc.
curiously,
James
