I sent an email to their sales department, and I bet I'm not the only
one... Maybe sales / support let the management know that there was
a major backlash brewing... For hardware SATA RAID, 3Ware is the only
brand I trust. They just work, and really do support Linux. Hopefully
they won't remain silent on this - I suggested that they make an
announcement in order to let Linux buyers know that they DO listen, and
that Linux matters.
