(In our local linux user group mailing list, we have a "distribution war" from time to time and SuSE 8.0 was the first one where nothing happend because all SuSE fans stayed quiet.) If things continue to go in that direction, I will change to another distri -- and I've started using SuSE before they started numbering their distris. :-( Concerning the raid controller mainboard: 1: have you tried http://www.promise.com/support/suse_eng.asp ? (I don't know anything about it, but if promise has an own linux driver for that board, it should be there.) 2: If you search the internet, search for the chip number. The guys writing device drivers have had bad experiences with names of boards, sale names etc. -- it only leads to confusion. So they prefer to talk about chip numbers. Good luck Wilhelm
