I feel like an idiot asking this... throw caution to the wind... what's the difference between SATA and UATA 133? Long story short - I bought a HP (arrived a few hours ago), I want to put some flavor of Linux on it, was concerned about voiding the warranty if I do that... so I went with a 40G drive (smallest available) and figured I would pull it out, stick it on the shelf and replace it with something else (COSTCO is selling Maxtor 200G Ultra ATA 133s for 135.00). If I have any hardware issues and need to avail myself of the warranty I'll just swap the original drive back in. The HP shipped with a SATA. SATA and UATA "interchangable?" Was a little overwhelmed looking at the install info on their site this morning but I'm thinking Debian (I suppose with the orignal drive on the shelf I can't mess to much up while learning...) joe --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
