RAID and OS configured and Installed

RAID 5 has been installed utilizing software counterpart instead of hardware. Having software raid on the system will give some unneeded overhead but this is the solution that we had to come up with lack of funds. The OS that was installed is CentOS-4.5. There is clear documentation online about the chosen OS and instructions on how to configure, maintain, and operate the system. The documentation that is going to be provided for this particular instance will be held on the Lutheran Social Services Wiki at 'lss.projectsparta.org'. There are still more packages that need to be installed and configured. This server is going to be specifically used as a file server basically. It was installed with ssh, ftp, and development tools. If there is need for more specific information then refer to the wiki.
