    Andy,

    I think the main point right now is to make sure you get and Intel
    chipset motherboard with the Intel SATA ICH5 or ICH5R controller.. This
    basiaclly means an i865 or i875 chipset..

    You will also need a distro that has kernel 2.4.21ac4 or later.. luckily
    Fedora is fine.. :)
    Here is the intel page,
    http://www.intel.com/support/chipsets/sb/cs-006312-prd40.htm

    It looks like all the other SATA controller drivers are still under
    development..

    Hope that helps..

    Later..
