This motherboard seemed to do well with Linux. Everything was detected during installation of Slackware and Redhat. I've also installed FreeBSD which seemed to install with no problems as well.
I picked up two of these boards for cheap at a computer parts store to put together test machines which seem to do the job just fine with most of the recent distro's out there.
