Well I would say you could have used Debian, you would just have had to
use a different SATA card or a newer kernel.
Best is of course to check compatibility of hardware before buying it.

The 3112 has been supported for a long time now, and works perfectly
fine (in plain SATA mode).

This one is at least supported in 2.6.10 and above, in plain SATA mode.
Using the proprietary software raid crap in the Sil chips isn't
recomended. If you want hardware SATA raid, get the 3ware above. The
rest work fine fr running linux software raid (which is how I use the
Sil controllers).
