I have used this Motherboard with Fedora and Debian.
Both installs went without problems,ethernet configured correctly,sound works(after running alsaconf).No Linux compatibility issues.
I would recommend this board particuarly for gaming due to it's overclocking potential and the ability to use AMD's quad core processors(with bios update).
