I'm very happy with my Intel D975XBX2 but I am not running Linux natively on
this one - it's got OS/2 on it and, I figure if it can run something as ancient
as that without too much trouble then it should be dream with Linux! I did boot
the SuSE 10.x install CD when I was first installing OS/2 on it and had problems
with that install but Linux booted just fine. I didn't need to use anything else
on there, just look at the disks etc.

It does have a Connectix VPC image on it running CentOS5 but most of what that
sees is virtualised so won't count either.
