IBM Netfinity RAID controllers

["Atul Chitnis" <achitnis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The other day someone had asked a question about the netfinity servers and
Linux. There was an item on news.com today, part of which said this:

Dell certifies its machines only with Red Hat's version of Linux, currently
the most popular. IBM, though, is on the other side of the spectrum,
supporting the four major commercial distributions: Red Hat, SuSE, Pacific
HiTech's TurboLinux, and Caldera Systems' OpenLinux.

IBM last week certified several of its Intel-based Netfinity 3000 and 5000
servers to work with the four Linux versions.

In addition, IBM said a Linux driver for IBM's ServRAID 3 adapter now is
available from the four Linux companies. Writing drivers for specific
hardware is a key requirement before the Unix-like operating system can be
used.
