Sorry, I assumed that since you were playing with Linux that you were 
familiar with PC hardware.

Yes, I'm referring to getting a new IDE hard disk controller card. 
Adding a new card is trivial - assuming that your PC uses PCI 
slots/cards. If it doesn't I wouldn't bother upgrading. Just make sure 
that the new card says that it supports hard disks greater than 128GB 
in size.

Most modern versions of Linux should find a new controller 
automatically, though some may need some options to be passed at boot 
time.
