I've got this board working OK under MANDRAKE 9.0. I had to install the NForce drivers from NVIDIA to get sound working, using nvaudio. There seems to be an unstability in USB, my mouse tends to drop out now and then. I have to unplug the cable and reinsert it.
Another problem I've not solved yet is to enable the 3Com network adapter, the NVIDIA is Ok.
Best regards,
