Does Linux support SATA hard drives?

Yes. All kernels in the 2.6 series have support for SATA (though the distributor may not have compiled them in). The later 2.4 kernels also have SATA support, but many distributions (Damn Small Linux is the only current one that uses a 2.4 kernel anymore) don't have it compiled in. Almost all modern desktop distributions (Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, OpenSUSE, etc...) have support for SATA built-in.
