Kernel (uname -r): 2.6.33.7-desktop-2mnb
Distribution: Mandriva 2010.2



Bought this board to go with a Phenom II x4. I have used it under the several distros with no problems except that the onboard Realtek chip is reported as an R8169 and the kernel loads module R8169, which doesn't support gigabit speeds. Switching to the R8168 module allowed gigabit lan speeds with no problem. I had no problems (except as mentioned above) with the following distros:
Mandriva 2010 Spring
Ubuntu 10.10
Linux Mint
Puppy 5.01
The onboard audio is adequate for most things, as is the HD4200 onboard video, although serious gamers won't care much for it. Basically this seems to be a sound board for the price at which I got it. It's beeen running fine for about six months now.
