This board has run Red Hat 8, Red Hat 9, Fedora Core 1, and Fedora Core 2. The interesting thing about this board is that it can use either PC133 SDR or PC2100 DDR. The only issues I have is that the on-board sound conflicts with my Quickcam 4000 pro.

No problem at all, everything is running fine.

DMA is limited to UDMA100, even if it sometime mention UDMA133.
ACPI standby/sleep doesn't work but it wasn't suppose to anyways (this is not a laptop :) )

This is my primary computer and I really beat that thing, so trust me if I say it does good job :)
