No. In the Samsung drive, be it any OS doesn't matter. Though there are lucky few who escape this tragedy.
Well it is Toshiba Samsung Storage Technology Corporation and in India,it's
supported by samsung.....
Yeah that's a samsung drive.
what's OT?
Off Topic. This whole discussion has gone OT for the LUG list.
And I checked the intel's website yesterday, the URI that was given, they have not even listed any recent distros there. There's no mention whatsoever of Ubuntu, Fedora Core, OpenSuse. I see only enterprise distributions or others which are unknown to me. So, atleast I wouldn't trust that page at all

I don't understand why the distributions need to be mentioned. One could just mention that so and so vanilla kernel has the support for the hardware. Any distribution using the kernel version or above, even with the distro specific patchsets will then support that specific hardware.
I've been using 2.6.17 on my box for quite a few months now. The current latest is 2.6.19.* My .17 seems very old now, its been some time since it came out. That particular site mentions at the latest 2.6.14. With such a new hardware, shouldn't they mention the latest stable kernel?
