Comment 266 for bug 1

Yesterday evening i had to buy a pci s-ata adapter. I had three choices: Adaptec (130 euro) supporting every kind of raid setup on 4 ports, Exagerate (42 euro) only 2 ports supporting raid 0/1 and a Sil compatible adapter with 4 ports (14 euro).

I knew that adaptec is the best and i know that it can sometimes make the difference, but i picked up the compatible one: on the enclosure, in a BOLD highlighted label was written "Supporting Microsoft 2K/XP, 95/98 and LINUX O.S.". It was enough for me and it was not specified on the other devices!

In december my PIV died and i took a PIII that i had in my home as a spare (256mb RAM, Nvidia FX5700, now with [160 sys] + [200 edk] + [200 RAID 1 home] gb of disk space available): with ubuntu it is exactly what i need to do all the thinks i usually do at home and at work. Now i only need a Wii and all the games will be done!

I converted to ubuntu 4 of my friend in the last 5 month: it means that it will be hard to win... but the battle will be epic!
