As far as the debian install failing during hte ILUG Blr meeting,  Well guys I
have a doubt with the kernel here rather than debian or redhat. As one should
remember Debian 2.1 comes with 2.0.36 kernel and Redhat 6.1 comes with
2.2.12-20 kernel. And the test m/c was the new ATHLON from AMD based one. 
I would request Avinash or Anyone else who as ATHLON based system to try and
boot using a older kernel of the 2.0.x series and preferable the 2.0.36 series
with the RAID and Multiple Devices driver logic builtin. And see if it fails or
not. That would give a better idea as to who the culprit is.

And let me say that there was no majority/minority thing at ILUG Blr meet. It
was a friendly atmosphere with the mindset to learn new things.
