Question Which Distro suits my needs?


I need a distro of linux that supports

SATA RAID 0, Scii drivers, mobo: ASUS A8n-e

Also support for usb wireless devices.

I will be using it as a programming station, as well as a gaming and software server.

If at all possible, a distro that supports 64 bit proc.

Thanks!


Id prefer to use linux for the stability, but if im forced to use windows i guess i have too since it supports everything i need >.<

Oh! That is unfortunate. ... and I just reported several more for it. Oh well, it was nice while it lasted.

It was lovely, but ultimately failed. The rule appears to be "post first, search later". Oh well.
