I've not yet come across one that isn't, but the Ubuntu HCL[0] is incredibly sparse on this. What controller do you have?

	Re: Ubuntu, SATA, installation!? by 0-3 :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message I've not installed Ubuntu yet, I want to know whether it supports the SATA controller of the PC mentioned. I hope the manual tells enough information about the SATA controller for you to answer. https://docs.google.com/fileview?id=0B8oLg_kLKV2eNGE1Njk5NjUtMjNlOC00NzQ0LWEwM2YtOTlkNThiOTBkNzZj&hl=en Actually, I'm not sure whether I'm going to install Ubuntu, and am afraid that I'll not cope with the installation, as this is my first installation of an OS.

The best way to find out if it will run on your machine is to download and burn the live CD. Instructions and download here http://www.ubuntulinux.org/getubuntu/download You can then boot off it and see if it will run with out altering your current set up. -- Steve -- ubuntu-users mailing list ubuntu-users@...

After all, if Ubuntu doesn't support your SATA chip by some unheard of chance, you won't get so far as to install anything, so no loss. I often suggest it's a good idea to search for a LUG (Linux User Group) in your local area and crash a meeting. If you bribe someone with pizza and beer, you can usually find someone to handhold you for your first install. -- ubuntu-users mailing list ubuntu-users@...

There’s at least one person got 9.10 running even if he doesn’t know the screen resolution http://ohioloco.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1302824 so the SATA controller is supported. -- Steve -- ubuntu-users mailing list ubuntu-users@...
