Kernel (uname -r):
2.6.23.1-42.fc8
Distribution:
Fedora 8 x86_64
Installed Fedora 8 x86_64 from DVD with no problems. Upgraded BIOS from 1404 to 1603 before install. Since this is a server install I disabled the onboard audio and COM1. The install was fast and completed with no problems. I used the Fedora 8 LAMP setup (Perfect Server) install provided on How-to-forge:
(http://www.howtoforge.com/fedora-8-server-lamp-email-dns-ftp-ispconfig)
to configure the server with ISPConfig. Everything worked perfectly.

Kernel (uname -r):
2.6.25.*
Distribution:
PCLinuxOS Pardus & others
Got this board as a substitute for it's nVidia equivalent, because that only worked with Mandriva 2008. This AMD/ATI board does not support 3D in all the distro's I tried on it, and crashes often when I try to change e.g. graphics settings.
It's a rather cheap product, which will do if you want to have windows on it, but not for desktop linux.

Kernel (uname -r):
2.6.26-*
Distribution:
Debian Lenny; Ubuntu 8.10 & 9.04
Pro: Decent desktop motherboard for Linux. There is no significant hassle found when I install Linux.
Con: The greatest problem I found is that the on-board sound components are somewhat vulnerable. This motherboard is better suited for small-scale Linux servers.
My opinion: this is better for Windows than Linux.
