Hello there....Sounds like you have not all that much faith in the linux
desktop these days. ;-} I'm not running that specific hardware, but I don't
see anything inthat list of yours that would make me think that it wouldn't
work out of the box. What are the chipsets of the 2 onboard nics? wuts
xp??hehheheh(xtra pain?) I'm a pretty decent fan of SuSe, but have been a
gentoo head of the past few years now. Check out some linux forums also, and
you can perform some searches on the specific chipsets on that mobo and see
how other people are making out.
Enjoy & Good Luck!
