In college I was interested in DEC alpha, which at the time was one of the only 64bit computers. It had an onboard NIC but wasn't compatible with Red hat Linux, but the 3com add on card was. It annoyed me that it didn't work perfectly and I eventually learned how to build and install the kernel driver for the onboard. It was my first experience in rpm hell. But it was so satisfying when it worked.
