I installed SUSE10 64bit to my K8NF-9 with an athlon 4000 and it all
just worked. I have nvidia 3d PCIE graphics and forcedeth gigabit ethernet.
Sound works too. Note you can not use nvidia sata raid disks as setup
from the bios. Software raid would work fine over plain sata disks.
I don't know if firewire800 works.
Good Luck.
