Grabbing I'm hoping this will play nice with my network this time

i hope so. i also hope it will have alsa drivers for my audio card this time around (had to use oss drivers last time, which did not offer a volume applet...).

hahaha. it finds my storage controller, but not the drives...hahahaha. same w/ pcbsd. no new kernel linux will load. they all find the adapter, but get lost finding a simple scsi array. this is bad for servers, 'cause many use this host and scsi drives...lol. only vista and ms server get it right out of the box. and no, i'm not buying another rig (or even an ata drive...) to run linux.
