It's amazing what the Linux kernel supports these days.
A couple of weeks ago, I bought a new computer, filled with relatively new
technology. Still, Fedora 7 (which I used) "just worked" on it without me
needing to do any special tinkering, kernel recompilations, uber-complex
configuration, and all the stuff you typically had to do when Linux was
younger. The only thing that didn't work was my old ("PATA") disk (this
machine has both PATA and SATA), and this last problem was solved a few days
ago when Linux 2.6.23 came out (and Fedora shipped it a couple of days later),
with support for the off-chipset PATA controller on my motherboard.
Viva Linux.
