I got Highpoint RocketRaid133 card a couple months back.  I got the card
because it supported linux, but I found out that it didn't have exactly
the support I was looking for.  It had drivers for Suse and Redhat, but
only for redhat 7.3, and I wanted to use 8 or 9, which I guess isn't a big
deal.  I got it working well on RHL9, but I had to install the system
first, and then build the driver on the running system and change fstab to
mount the partitions on /dev/sda instead of hda, wasn't a huge deal and
works well now.  In my search for getting that one running however I saw a
LOT of people posting that 3ware cards were where it's at.
