i know of no problem with usb mouse and keyboard, under mandrake and suse at least... i think its more of a trick to set up if you are going to use a linux that doesnt autodetect all that for you (like debian, at which i just failed horribly). i also think there is a site that should tell you if the board is completely linux compatible, but i cant remember it. also, i have had problems with onboard sound, but not onboard video, but then, my computer is an old pos compaq
