This board works very well, but the only problem i have with it is the sata connectors that are for the controller by the south bridge on the motherboard. The Silicon Image sataraid controller works very well though. For refrence i'm on Slackware 10.0 partially upgraded to slackware-current. The kernel is 2.6.9-rc3. The module i'm using for the onboard gigabit nic is the e1000. Works perfectly for me, all you have to do is edit the modules.conf file. As for everything else its pretty much self setup for me. The things i'm not sure about though if they work or not is the sata southbridge controller and the onboard audio, as i dont' use them being the sata wasn't supported as far as i know when i tried it (tried it with slackware 9.1 when i first started with linux) and as i use a better audio card then the onboard i have the onboard disabled.
