 I have had this keyboard for a couple of years now. at it was the only keyboard i could find with the keys not in straight rows, and the word microsoft not written on the top. The keys have much more travel than the newer "soft touch" keyboards, but the action is good. i find the "wave" keyboard design much more comfortable on my wrists than a flat keyboard. when i first bought it (using gentoo, kernel 2.6.20 i think) i could only get some of the extra keys to work. currently in ubuntu keyboard preferences all keys are recognised except the two 'zoom' keys.

 With i3 540 CPU, I set the two overclock switches on the motherboard to 20% and the system booted fine. 4 hard drives, using onboard graphics, 500W power supply. dual monitors work fine with onboard graphics (1xHDMI, 1xVGA) under xrandr. Only problem after one week (April 2011) is no sensors - neither lm-sensors nor GKrellM recognises the fan/temp/voltage sensors. BIOS readings seem correct, and i assume their windows utility works, but no kernel module yet.

 that's my original review above... and i'm here now to report that i'm 18 months older and wiser. i've realised that everyone has trouble with AMD64 ram compatibility, and i've just built another linux system with a very similar Gigabyte motherboard, which had similar problems and a MUCH less powerful BIOS. so i'm giving the board a ten now, which should average my previous rating up to an 8, which is probably just about right.

 hey it's me again. it's working fine after a bit of googling. the red button doesn't respond quite the same way it does in windows with the logitech drivers, but it does the job once you're used to it.

 I've got the cheapest, most generic 7-in-1 usb reader ever. there is no brand name anywhere on the box, the cd, or the device itself. lsusb (as root) tells me Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0424:223a Standard Microsystems Corp. this page: http://www.xat.nl/en/riscos/sw/usb/c8.htm suggests it's a Medion / SMSC 8-in1 card reader this page: http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdev.php?id=2387 suggests it's an IOGEAR Inc. GFR280 Universal Memory Bank either way, it appears as /dev/sdc1 as soon as i plug it in, mounts fine (mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/temp), works fine at least with my compactflash card. and it's quick, so i presume USB2.0 is working. i have "scsi disk support", "scsi generic support", "probe all LUNs on each scsi device", and "build with scsi report luns support" all compiled into my kernel.

 ok, me again, i've got it working now the sata drives WILL work standalone or under software raid, and you CAN boot from them. ie no raid drivers required, only the standard VIA drivers which are included with 2.6 kernels. my GEIL DDR400 ram caused me the most trouble, i've got it working now by slowing it to 266MHz (133 in the bios) and setting the DIMM voltage to 2.8V (mb defaults to 2.6 and goes to 2.9 which causes lots of trouble) took a month to work all that out, but it's very stable now!!!
