  Linux has the same problems as all free unixes, if not worse.  Many
drivers are less than version 1.0, and only partially completed.

  You should see the very restrictive list of hardware that RedHat
recommends, and DPT is listed as a "Tier 2 Supported", which only means
partial support.  Only Mylex Multimaster/Flashpoint and Adaptec PCI cards
are listed in Tier 1.
