[VoIP] For those of you who have just installed Asterisk1.4.16.2

Not so sure that MaxBlast will work with Linux.
Russ and others can comment on that.
Given that the cost of big drives is SO cheap right now, and MANY of 
them can be jumpered for some magic number, it's hardly worth the effort.
Also I have bought MANY 20 Gig drives off eBay for next to nothing. 
Used, of course, but landed at 11 bucks each!
Even if one isn't so hot, who really cares.
