Is there any problems with running linux on one of these? Main concern is the onboard graphics. Will they work with Redhat 9 problem free, from the box? Anything else i should watch out for? I'm a real Linux noob so I scare easily.

Man this thing is too good to be true, based around an XP2200+, crucial 256 ddr400 and a seagate 40gb I can get a sub £300 system that looks incredible. The mobo is feature rich too! Bit extravagant for an occasional use linux box but what the hell!

Onboard graphics are fine as its really just an Nvidia GF4 MX. Out of the box the graphics will work with RH9 but you can get newer drivers from Nvidia's website.

The only problem that I had with RH9 on my SN41G2 was with the onboard nic. For some reason the linux Nforce drivers didnt work with it (might have needed another driver revision). A quick trip to google however sorted that out though :).
