The Nforce chipsets work flawlessly with Linux.
Just out of interest (and I'm out of date here) do they work
flawlessly with a vanilla kernel (ie not binary blobs from NVidia)?

nForce doesn't necessarily mean "nVidia chipset graphics card".

Yep. Though I remember the days before forcedeth when binary crap was
required.

Everything works on my nForce-based Tyan S2865 board with a vanilla
2.6.20.1 kernel, though for some reason forcedeth says the onboard
Ethernet port is eth3 instead of eth1.


That is interesting - perhaps I will forgive NForce for existing and give
one a go.

Thanks for that.
