IDE is an [Acronym] for Integrated Drive Electronics. It is a protocol for attaching devices to computer motherboards (another one is [SCSI]). It is the most commonly used in [x86] desktop machines running [Linux] or [Windows], and in cheap servers (ie not BigIron). The most typical devices include [HardDisk]s and CD-ROMS.
[IDE] HardDisk's often support [SMART], which lets you query the hard disk for various bits of information, and get it to preform tests etc. If you're interested in playing with this, I recommend looking at smartmontools. (http://smartmontools.sf.net:/ [IIRC]).

+[IDE] may also stand for Integrated Development Environment. Popular IDEs are [KDevelop] and VisualStudio.
