Promise cards are pretty badly supported in linux. Their drivers are 
closed source and I have personally not had any luck getting one that I 
had to run with Fedora - ymmv.

But with many other companies out there supplying cards that are well 
supported in linux (eg. adaptec i think) - why bother with Promise?

just my 0.23 cents
