I prefer full FOSS HW support OOTB and have had the best experiences

PATA/SATA, LAN, serial, parallel, PS/2, USB, etc.).
Does Squeeze have full FOSS HW support OOTB for the Intel
Second-Generation Core processors and Q67 chipset motherboards? Does
Wheezy? Sid? As other posters have mentioned, checking HCL's is
difficult at best.
I'm considering building a Debian Gnome 64-bit desktop and a Debian Xen
or XCP 64-bit server using i5-2500S processors and DQ67SW motherboards:

http://ark.intel.com/products/51997/Intel-Desktop-Board-DQ67SW
Any comments from people running Debian, Gnome, Xen, or XCP on these parts?
TIA,
David
