I have been using it for several months without any Linux-related problems
(Athlon XP-2500+, 512MB 333 RAM).
However - its BIOS seems shaky: several times it has lost its info on the CPU.
Last time (today) it also lost password-info (it wanted one though I have never
set it), and lost communication with keyboard (PS2) and mouse (USB). Further,
the boot sequence ran past most efforts to press the DEL key (to get into
setup).
Once it has booted properly there are no errors. I have been running memtest
for 48 hours without failures.
