"Bleeding edge technology"?!?! I bought the Dell 8400 as-is and used (from the Dell bargain area) over two years ago. "Bleeding edge" it ain't. <Snipped> > Given that Windows /generally/ has better hardware > driver support than Linux on the newest hardware if > XP needed patching then Sarge might just be a > tad too old to take advantage of the SATA drive. > > Unpleasant, maybe. Dems da facts, yeah. :/ If a 2+ year-old machine is "bleeding edge", what does that make the latest Dell quad-core game monsters with dual-X1900 video cards? Now *that* is what *I* call "bleeding edge". C'mon, a simple old system like a Dell 8400 should be long-since supported by stable code, even among the volunteer community. FYI, the FC6 install disk sees all my drives, no problem (though I grant you this, FC6 *is* more recent than sarge). However, I may give it one more try with Etch just to see if it's better. But I'll probably be using FC6 before that. My $0.02USD only, you are certainly entitled to your own.
