[NBLUG/talk] Finding an compatible IDE motherboard

[Todd Cary]

For openers, my level of Linux knowledge is good enough to let me get a 
light duty (FTP) server up and running which is then just about 
forgotten (one of the reasons I love Linux). Other than that my 
knowledge fads fast.

I have a server running Red Hat 9 on a Abit BE7-RAID board with some IDE 
drives. I want to upgrade to a later version of Linux, but the BE7 is 
not supported by newer versions, so I need to replace the 
motherboard...maybe even keep the Pentium CPU (Socket 478)...and be able 
to use the same IDE drives. However, when I try to find a board, I am 
over whelmed...lost.

How does one go about this task?

Gratefully....

Todd
