New system and Seria ATA

[apjaworski at mmm.com]

Hi everyone,

I need to put together a new system and I have been thinking about Serial
ATA drives.  I searched stuff using Google and I found out about SATA
support for different chipsets.  I also found out about libata modules in
2.6.? kernels.  However, my question is this:  if I buy a brand new
hardware with SATA disks only, is there any way to install Linux on it?  If
so, could somebody explain how or point me to some explanations?

I am pretty experienced with Linux and I have been running RedHat systems
on my home machines for several years.

Thanks in advance,

Andy
