Or there's plan c - buy a SATA card to plug into your motherboard.
SATA card:
This is the only one I see that recognizes the existence of non
Microsoft operating systems [there are some that mention Apple OSX] but
do I care? This one has a raid function [which I don't need] that might
require MS software but I would expect a controller card to just work
except possibly for some change in the BIOS settings?
HighPoint ROCKETRAID1520 W/O PCI SATA Controller Card -
*Operating Systems Supported:* Windows 98 / ME / NT4.0 / 2K / XP
/ 2003 Linux (SuSE, Red Hat), and FreeBSD
It looks to me like a $15 or $20 card ought to work by just plugging it
in without Windows but I need reassurance.
Does anyone know for certain?

Run away from that card, supported by linux typically means that they include
a driver in the box.
Any of the Sil* based cards should work, and should be really really cheap (<$30).
