Kernel support for SCSI

["Dermot Paikkos" <dermot@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I am trying to spec a new system and wanted to move my backup device 
to said system. I have been looking at Adaptec site for a UW SCSI-2 
card to suit and noticed that linux is not mentioned as a supported 
OS. I am pretty sure that 2.6+ kernels have built-in support for most 
adaptec card but I can't find any information that might confirm 
that.

The OS will probably be fedora4. I had a look there but there wasn't 
anything. Can someone direct me to somewhere I can find out what 
native support is in built into the latest kernels?

Also, as a point of principle, do Linux admins buy cards from 
manufacturers that do not support our OS?

Thanx.
Dp.
