Hardware installation was simple and there are plenty of web reviews on the process.
My hardware:
Shuttle SB75G2
Intel P4E 3.2GHz
2 x 512MB DDR400 ECC
Hitachi DeskStar 7K250 160GB SATA
NEC ND-2501A DVD+/-RW
Saphire Radeon 9200SE
SATA cable routing is not in the manual, but easy to figure out. Other than that, plug it together and plug it in!
Installed FC2 from CD in text mode (not using a mouse) in less than 20 minutes. All hardware detected and functioning. Running as a server so the video card is a cheap Radeon 9200SE. No compatability problems encountered yet, but X-Windows isn't installed.
Updated the BIOS: Downloaded latest from Shuttle and made a bootable CD, no problems (no floppy drive).
Just need to figure out lm_sensors settings for voltages.
Shuttle is not big on Linux so I don't know how good their support will be, but Linux runs like a dream on their hardware. Plug it in to the LAN and shove it in the corner (set up OpenSSH first).
Operating speed is impressive to say the least, it is replacing an old 80486DX4/RHL7.2!
In short, if you want Linux in a small box, this one is excellent.
