I have new Dell Optiplex at work that came with XP, so I'm putting Linux on
it :-)
RH9.0 did not recognize my serial ATA drive.
I've looked at the hardware compatability list but didnt' find any reference
to sata.

I've installed Taroon but that beta release has its issues.
Is there any non-beta release that supports SATA? Thanks.
