Good board, except if you want use it with dual core athlon64, you'll have to flash the BIOS with version 0304 or higher to get linux work on it. Lower BIOSes have apic bug. Damn asus.

Kernel (uname -r): Linux 2.6.18
Distribution: gNewSense-kde


gNewSense starts up from CD. Boot from IDE o.k. But no support for AHCI for the SATA ports. Grub has a hell of a time booting -- the only thing that's worked for me so far is to install GRUB on an IDE drive and use SATA only for data -- a really clumbsy solution, at best.

Kernel (uname -r): 2.6.22.1
Distribution: Slamd64


Works well with AMD dual-core CPU, SATA HDD. Fanless design, so fairly quiet.
Not a great overclocker, max. RAM voltage is 1.95 V.
Easy installation, stable, typical Asus mainboard.

Kubuntu installation was smooth. BIOS 1001. Everything has been working for a few months now, even suspend to RAM using kpowersave. lm-sensors shows fan speed, CPU and MB temp. fancontrol allows to customize fan speed down to almost quiet (modified 5V to CPU fan).
