What's the point of having a dual channel scsi raid controller at 320
MB/sec if you turn it off and use software raid?

This from SuperMicro:

So, I can have Redhat 8 or 9 but not Fedora Core 4?

Surely there must be support for the HostRaid AIC 7902.
Dell supports the 7920.

Does anyone have an installer I can borrow?
