We do not wish to have Ubuntu installed. 1) track down the driver for your hardware and hack it into the installation by hand. I've had to do this on several occasions for newer hardware(well not since CentOS 4.4) 2) Buy from a vendor that tests/certifies with CentOS/RHEL so you know it works when it arrives. I highly suggest #2, less pain all around. I'd only suggest #1 for really experienced linux admins. #1 can take a significant amount of time/testing. nate
