My A8V Deluxe runs great. In my experience Asus boards are usually
great, although I have never bought any of the budget boards (which I
consider socket 754 boards to be). I have still not found a reason to
stop buying asus boards for all my machines (I have been doing so for 13
years now, but if they stop working great for me, I will find something
else. That is how I went from ati to nvidia for videocards 6 years
ago).

Bios problems are common, and some makers will fix them, others won't.
Asus tends to fix them. I won't say they always do, but they do tend
to.
Certainly people have said on this list in the past that tha A8N-SLI
runs linux for them, and the A8N-E is certainly related to it, so
hopefully it will work similarly.
