I have two Gigabyte K8 Triton (GA-K8VT800) and Debian-amd64 is running without
the slightest problem.Before I used an MSI Neo board with via chipset and it
was a huge disaster:there was always something not
working,keyboard,mouse,network. I can absolutely not agree with the reviews
in various magazines,LXF included.
With the gigas everything works:built-in network,extra Terratec Aureon
soundcard,ATI 9600 video,SCSI-card and Umax SCSI-scanner,USB mouse,keyboard
and Wacom graphic tablet,all this right out of the box with minimal
configuration.
