It has its own driver, which we'll have to figure out someday.
I tested it here in the office on an old machine, by installing Fedora
Core 1. I did not test it regarding DMA or anything fancy, all I can
say is that it functions under Fedora Core 1.
When the new servers arrive, my plan is to install it with 2x250Gb and
probably Fedora Core 1 (with your permission) and then stick it in the
colo for ya'll to test more thoroughly. With 1 new big powerful db
server and 4 new 1U boxes (to be customized according to our needs),
we should have spare boxes enough to be able to run tests and such.
