At least on aix, LVM is akin to walking & chewing gum at the same time.  
It's that simple. Haven't tried it yet on Linux. (*yet*, the RH9 iso's 
are being d/l'd now)   If I ask for $$$ I'm sure I'll just get the 
answer, "well, just use one of those brand-spanking-new Windows 
development boxes."  Then I'm stuck using w2k again and we'll be right 
where we already are.  Plus we have several 8-20gb drives that are about 
to be surplussed. -bp
