Hmmm next to which distribution is best, should we impeach Hillory...er...Bill,
this is a religious discussion. Adaptec is the largest SCSI adaptor providor.
Therefore, it has been slow to react to the Linux community like on the other
hand, Mylex (Buslogic), has been a favorite of Linux users with good drivers.
You would be happy most likely with either a 2940UW Adaptec or a BT-958 Buslogic.
