Look for a little short guy named William, from Jacksonville, Florida. (He's a Gentoo-head, so he'll probably be hanging out with that crowd.)

On the other hand, there are still quite a few old P-III and P-IV machines that are running PATA drives. So, Linux users are going to see something wrong when they see their drives designated as "/dev/sd*" drives. Currently, no LPI study materials explain why that is. And, when the exam objectives imply that all PATA drives will always be designated as "/dev/hd*", then LPI is helping to propagate outdated knowledge. Putting something in about libATA can help you avoid getting into a "Here's how you need to know it for the exam, but here's how it is in real life" type of scenario. (That scenario would make a rather tricky situation for Linux instructors who don't want to violate their non-disclosure agreement.) If some way could be found to include it, but to also to avoid it turning into "gimme" questions, I think that that would be the best way.
