May be you don't link Debian

Oh really? Can you give me some facts? I'll throw a fact at you. Try installing Etch on a C2D machine running Intel's DG965RY motherboard. Then you contradict me. This is not a one off incident. The FACT is Etch's kernel doesn't have a driver which is essential for the IDE controller. Its some JMicron controller.

Next time you better get your facts straight before shooting off a reply. I'm not here to have a childish "i'm right, no i'm right" debate. I've presented FACTS which are backed up by numbers.
