Mainly I need to be able to reinstall it quickly if something were to happen, hard drive crash, PSU changes lifestyle and becomes a firecracker, etc... I need to be able to reinstall it and have it going in less than 1 hour without having to reconfig everything, apply patches and all that.

Yes!

Like I said, I can setup QoS on there the way I want it, I have in the past. But to do so right now is a bit time consuming. And I need something that I can get back up and running quickly if something fails. Sure I can do it with my current setup, but I don't have half a day to get it set back up when (and it will) go wrong.

Few things about all this VoIP stuff. Up here in Canuckleville we have things called pizza delivery and they use #'s like 310-0001 and it redirects to a local area. Now with VoIP these numbers become useless and hardless ever work and you end up needing a cell phone.

911 still has some unworked issues as well.
