do you think this will work with Linux?

what about Linux on an Intel platform?

I wonder how it performs - esp. compared to the supermicro card 
http://supermicro.com/products/accessories/addon/DAC-SATA-MV8.cfm which 
which is a fair bit cheaper at ~$99 and presents the ports internally. I 
know the Supermicro has a linux driver (they emailed it to me), but I 
haven't tried it.

Anyone tried these cards?

Max.
