RE: New Debian net install on a SATA server?
That did it alright. As soon as I turned off the hardware RAID it worked
fine. I'll just do it with software. It did come with Window$ drivers so I
assume it will not have drivers for Linux but I will do some checking into
software RAIDs.
For backups is RAID the best way to go? For this server it is more
important to be able to restore the data then to have the system back up and
running in seconds. I hear allot of people saying to just make the second
drive an image of the first and then run an hourly cron job to copy the
/home/ directories?

I've installed a few boards with SATA. If you have turned on RAID, turn it
off. RAID changes the driver from IDE to SCSI -- and it requires a special
driver. That driver will not be part of the Linux set.

Nobody is going to be able to help you without more information.
Linux is hardware specific. Everything depends on the hardware you choose.
I always attempt to choose hardware that works, so I don't have surprises.
According to the link you provided, the Ethernet is an integrated gigabit
controller.
The Serial ATA controller is not listed.
Sounds like you like surprises. :)
