A lot of hardware resellers are currently saying "Debian doesn't work on this hardware" but when you investigate it turns out that they heard that the default Sarge install does not support the SATA controller, and they don't care to find out more. In turn some hosting companies pass that (not strictly true) message on. I'll be glad when it goes from not strictly true to completely untrue.
