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.

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.
