Ugh.... both Intel 2700 and the 2800 boards suffer the same graphics problems with Linux. I guess I need to stockup on D525MWs or find another source like Jetway or ??? http://communities.intel.com/thread/29157?start=0&tstart=0 It's hard to believe that a company like Intel can make such a blunder. I did read that the next generation of Atom boards coming out next year will not use this graphics chip.
