I have been looking at Adaptec site for a UW SCSI-2 card to suit and noticed that linux is not mentioned as a supported OS. I am pretty sure that 2.6+ kernels have built-in support for most adaptec card but I can't find any information that might confirm that. The OS will probably be fedora4. I had a look there but there wasn't anything. Can someone direct me to somewhere I can find out what native support is in built into the latest kernels? Also, as a point of principle, do Linux admins buy cards from manufacturers that do not support our OS? Thanx. Dp.
