I have been using a A7N8X Deluxe with Debian for about a month now and
have been extremely happy with it. One thing to remember is to boot
with "noapic nolapic" kernel parameters. Do some googling if you want
to know more. I have been using the forcedeth driver for a week now and
nothing has broken yet, 3com nic works as expected, and onboard sound is
great. I haven't even tried any 2.4 kernels but I am pretty sure it
isn't a problem. I too have been using the nvidia video drivers since
they first came out and I would not hesitate to recommend virtually any
nvidia graphics card for use with linux. It may be binary-only drivers,
but that is pretty much what you have to live with to get GLX
accelerated graphics.
