Linux....I have a problem with Linux too. It doesn't support my
adaptec AIC-7850 hd controller. As far as I know, the only UNIX OS
that supports this is the latest snap version of FreeBSD. But then
again I can't get that to work due to the DAMN Seagate. Freebsd
hackers/ppl, Help us get FreeBSD to work with SEAGATE HARDISCS!
