Does Linux 2.4pre support the raid controller on the abit vp6? The kernel says it supports the 370, but it doesn't mention raid. I was confused as to if there was a difference or not. Also, OT, does anyone know if the controller is managed through hardware or through software? Thanks. ,.;:: :

Hello. In reading about the cool new features of Linux v2.4, most of the improvements/changes seem to relate to high-end systems. Would users of low-end systems (386/486, low memory, etc.) be advised to stay with kernel v2.2.x or is v2.4.x the way to go for these systems as well? Thank you.
