Hi,

I'm looking for components for a new PC to install debian on. I've
been looking at motherboards (MSI & Gigabyte) and it seems that the
IDE interface no longer exists. Is no more IDE interface the new
direction for PCs so that I will have to buy a SATA burner?

Ah, changes in hardware standards are the way of the world. I have some ISA
cards lying around still, but no machines which could possibly use them (:

I didn't realize IDE was no longer being provided, though. I bought a new
top-of-the-line computer last year and it still had them. Oh well, they had to
go sometime (: I think the last time I was annoyed about such a change was when
you couldn't get floppy drives anymore..
