Linux Rules…

WARNING: RAID-6 is currently highly experimental. If you
use it, there is no guarantee whatsoever that it won’t
destroy your data, eat your disk drives, insult your mother,
or re-appoint George W. Bush.
I was working on rebuilding my kernel for my brand new Dell. Unfortunatly the default binary Linux kernel for Debian (testing) doesn’t seem to work with my PC for kernels newwer then 2.4.26. It came with Red Hat Enterprise 9 WS (YUCK! PUKE! ICK! NASTY!). Anyways, Debian always seems to hang on the “Real Time Clock Driver” even though Knoppix seems to work each time. I compiled my own version in Knoppix (very tricky) that includes support for my new SATA drives, Sound Blaster Audigy 2, dual Intel Xeon 3.4 ghz with HyperThreading, Adaptec 79XX scsi raid controller, and my on board Intel E1000 nic card. Very Fun.
