Kernel (uname -r):
Distribution: Mandrake 9.1 Pro Suite



I installed Knoppix, Red Hat 8.0, Mandrake 9.1 All works detected right at install, USB, NIC, Audio, Hauppauge Wint TV card, nVidia GeForce MX 440, CD Burner, DVD Reader, 2 IDE HDD (20GB). No complaints worked just like the ECS K7S5A pro, a beauty to install.

Very painless Linux install, highly recomended.

The MoBo is not overclocked and has factory BIOS.

Side Note.

Had problems installing W2K on it, after initial setup, install the AGP driver and will work or otherwise, will not reboot it will BSOD.

Loaded my distro a treat. Found all of my hardware some of which is a bit ancient. My Hercules video drivers went in with no bother also the sound card. I'm not using the O/B sound but have a creative PCI128 installed.
Even Win 2K loaded well with no problems.
No BIOS upgrade used and no overclocking.
