We use that box with 4.3R - the interegrated fast Ethernet card is supported by fxp driver and it is auto-detected during installation (with GENERIC kernel). > Second, I was wondering if the "Integrated Smart Array Controller" will wor > I called Compaq, and they said it was based on Symbios's 53C1510.

The integrated SCSI is supported bby ida0 driver. It is in GENERIC kernel as well. >All in all, has anyone had any good/bad experiences with this particular > computer? We are happy with that box.
