 I have experienced absolutely no problems with this motherboard under Debain Etch. Installation was a breeze, with it detecting my SATA drive without a hiccup. Both ethernet ports were detected and the onboard sound worked out of the box. Everything else works seemlessly. It has lots of connectivy, with 4 usb ports built in, a panel that goes in a pci slot with another 2 and another two connectors on board that my case can plug into giving me 8 in total. It also sports a couple of firewire connections on the pci plate. The only downside is there are no serial and parallel ports as these are removed to make room for the silent heatsink. But who really uses these today anyway?

 I installed Debian Sarge on this with no problems. I had to upgrade to a more current kernel in order to get USB support to be stable. It took a little tweaking to get the graphics driver sorted. X didn't detect my card properly and I had to change the driver in xorg.conf to "radeon". The sound worked fine once ALSA was configured although it always resets the volume to zero when I reboot. Some (not all) of the hotkeys work using the hotkeys program. All in all, I was pleasently surprised that it all just worked smoothly.
