first I put debian sarge on it with a 32bit kernel, everything worked well.
decided to go for the pure64 beta, was quite a pain to install, but not because of any hardware issues. was totaly worth the effort though, everything is very very peppy now.
the only problem I have is a VPD error from the network driver, but I hear this happens on Windows too and is a BIOS problem. I haven't found a DOS or linux based flash util that works on this thing yet. I have no dual boot and it seem rediculious to install windows just to flash the BIOS. I haven't contacted support yet.
overall I'm super happy with it. great performer, everything works, and the quietest PC over 3Ghz (equiv, not actual) I've ever heard.
I'd give it a 10 for compatability, the VPD error does prevent me seen network usage stats. If Shuttle would only provide a DOS or Linux based BIOS flash utility it could probably get it.
