Very Computer

It's not the first time I use Linux, but is the first time I install
Linux and also with a computer build on scratch.  I'm wondering if
Redhat 6.2 support "Promise Ultra66 PCI Controller Card" and also Voodoo
3 2000 (or 2200, I forgot the number).

Also, when I want to install Linux on a blank hard drive, should I use
the Linux boot disk created from the CD to boot it?  Can the hard drive
be connected to the Promise card when I install Linux, since nothing is
on the hard drive, so no driver for the card.

Both Redhat and SuSE have compatibility lists. Others also exist; I
prefer the SuSE format. Try http://www.suse.com, look for hardware list.

FYI, I believe both of these work in linux, but I have heard mixed
results on problems with the Promise controller card. Sometimes putting
controllers such as this in a different slot makes all the difference in
whether it is quirky or solidly working. Voodoo 3's have worked for
quite some time.
