Linux and data storage?

[Karen Lewellen]

Thanks by the way for the site in your note above.
They are not using freebds, and do not know how to install even the basic 
things.  Pine is at 4.0 or4.1 and even it does not function properly.
I do not trust their limited knowledge to compress data that may or may 
not be  decompressed later.  it is red hat that they use...they think.
