[Tfug] HighPoint RocketRAID 100 and Linux

[Sam Hart]

I have had a server HDD go down (without adequate backups... no lectures) 
and am replacing it.

I would like to use hardware RAID on this system in the future, but am 
running on very limitted funds right now.

I have found this:

The RocketRAID 100 by HighPoint (budget priced at ~ $50). It claims Linux 
support, and even has "open-source" drivers available from here:

So my question is this: Has anyone had experience with these cards (or 
their ICs) under Linux? (I'm mainly concerned with it working with Generic 
Linux installs, instead of specific ones like Red Hat, Caldera, etc... as 
I do tend to use either Gentoo or Debian)
