[Steve Dodson]

Hi,

My name is Steve and this is the second grid of which I have been a 
part. I appreciate everyone taking the time to put this together; I look 
forward to being a cog in your backup solution! Initially, I have a 
single 500GB node available over a DSL connection (ugh). This space was 
previously available on another grid that never really got off the 
ground. At some point (money has been allocated) I will upgrade this 
node to increase the space and add RAID. Additionally, I plan to add 
some space and a helper on a server I manage at work; RAID 5, bonded 
T-1. I think 500GB to be an appropriate barrier to entry; thanks Shawn 
for sharing your insight on the problems associated with significant 
sizing discrepancies.

I manage IT for a small office during the day; in a past life I was an 
Oracle DBA and .NET programmer (go figure). I'm something of a n00b to 
Linux, but 95% availability should not be a problem for my node(s).
