-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have no experience with this board or chipset. I do however use and recommend the Asus M2N32 WS Professional. This is a workstation class board so it may not always be appropriate for a server. I do like the number and variety of expansion slots (2 PCI-E 16x, 2 PCI-E 1x, 2 PCI-X and 1 PCI. Newer 3Ware cards use PCI-E.
For Linux compatibility I have found the best results when using a vanilla kernel greater than or equal to 2.6.18. Red Hat/CentOS have seriously customized kernels (lots of patches and back ported drivers and fixes) so all I can say is YMMV. Stock Ubuntu Edgy+ seem to work well with this board. I have a Ubuntu Dapper install with a custom kernel at home (also with a 3Ware SATA RAID card) that has been working well for nearly a year.
