Nonsense.  Set up proper monitoring of system resources (memory is only one 
resource you should be watching) and help the community out if you're 
detecting memory leaks.  restarting every night is bad bad bad.

Again, nonsense.  software RAID1 is more than adequate, but personally I far 
prefer to use CompactFlash.  There's absolutely no reason to have three+ 
drives in small office PBX; Hell I'd be hard-pressed to justify two (RAID1) 
in such an install.
