Definitively Linux ready :D

1) Booted with a Mandriva 2007 LiveCD (rc3) and later... Everything was auto-recognized automatically :
Network, Sound, Video, Drives

2) Also booted with Kororaa 0.2 LiveCD (kernel 2.6.16) and again, what I tested did work without any effort of mine.

I put a 9 as I haven't used it for long enough to be sure everything really is as good as it seems to be. Time only may tell us.

Hello!

OpenSuse 10.2 recongizes this board, but not all of the components - LAN on Board must be installed with on older Realtek driver, or an updated driver must be downloaded from Realtek's Website and installed. The OnBoardSound must also be downloaded from the Net and be installed after having setup OpenSuse 10.2.

Confirmation, all seems to run well.

Here are the kernel-driver I use with success so far:

LAN: forcedeth ( Device Drivers ---> Network device support ---> Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit) ---> nForce Ethernet support

Audio: snd-hda-intel ( Device Drivers ---> Sound ---> Advanced Linux Sound Architecture ---> PCI devices ---> Intel HD Audio

Graphics: nvidia-driver from nvidia.com (Version 1.0.9755-r1)

chipset: BLK_DEV_AMD74XX (Device Drivers ---> ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support ---> AMD and nVidia IDE support)

I'm unsure about sound setup because I have no multi-speaker hardware, but via headphone stereo output seems fine.
