Intel is after all Intel.. No matter what we say. Sure Xeon is costlier, but if it means a system the is 100% Linux proofed, and stable without risking hardware damage if a fan fails, I'll dish out the money.
Maybe I've missed something but why should a Xeon be any more "100 % Linux proofed" than an AMD CPU?
The question is; what motherboard manufacturer shall i look at? I took a peek at Tyan, they had Loads and loads of boards, all almost identical. Couldn't see too much difference in most of them. Asus has always runned nice for me. MSI apparently does dual cpu boards...
I throw in Rioworks HDAMA. We're having no troubles with it here, they use AMD's chipset and it has 4+4 ram sockets.

Has anyone any of the following systems running under Linux?
Asus - PC-DL Deluxe (Dual Xeon) Tyan - Thunder K8QS Pro (Quad Opteron) Tyan - Thunder K8W (Dual Opteron)
Any issues regarding compatibility etc.?
