Install was relatively straightforward. The issues experienced were due to Ubuntu rather than the SN25P.

The SN25P's sound card was not recognized by Ubuntu, this problem was fixed by patching the kernel. The SN2P contains an nForce4, I am able to use the SATA interface (only disk) and the IDE interface. I have not been able to use the NVidia Raid functionality, nor the hardware firewall.

Shuttle sn25p with AMD 64 and Fedora 4
The computer is silent, fast and runs both Fedora 4 and Windows XP nicely.
For me there are, however, two major glitches (the second makes the system unusable for me) :
1) No sound
2) The system won't boot with a Dallas USB one-wire adapter attached.
Hope Shuttle will come with some solutions for this. Till then good-bye.

Red Hat 4 Update 1 does not support NForce4. Update 2 due late September '05 should backport support for this I/O chipset.

re comment from: hakelm

SN25P does support sound.

In the case of SUSE9.3 my system works after loading the online update of the linux kernel version 2.6.11.4-21.8 or later.

In order to support the via envy24 chipset used for sound output by the Shuttle SN25P we need a kernel with alsa 1.0.9 in it. That is the part in the kernel, just updating the alsa rpms wont do it.

You can tell which alsa version is used by the kernel by typing
cat /proc/asound/version

Works great. Easy to build, just a few minutes of easy work. Sound was a problem until i found

But a kernel upgrade solved it permanently.

It was hard to get it going... It's plagued with problems:
Memory card reader: It generates no events on card insertion and removal. Very annoying.
On board audio: The ALSA driver can't do 16 bit stereo PCM over OSS emulation on it. So apps like the quake engine can't produce sound on it (ET)

Shuttle support was really responsive if not very useful. They practically told me they expect people to run Windows on these boxes :-D

The sound issue drove me to buy an USB sound solution...

btw.: If you want to use a Razer copperhead mouse with it make sure to flash its firmware (yes, the mouse does have upgradeable fw).
