Hi Benjamin, I have the exact same mobo you mention (A7N8X-Deluxe). Onlye issues I had with both Fedora and RH9 were: - onboard nForce NIC: cannot be recognized without nVidia drivers; works like a charm with them - sound: nvaudio driver (from nVdia, based on intel8x0) works reasonably well (Flash plugin doesn't work very well with it). Using now ALSA intel8x0 driver, seems to work better (at least Flash plays nice with it) - PS/2 console mouse stopped playing nice with X mouse with FC1. Requires me to turn off console mouse before starting X (used to work flawlessly on RH9) Aside from these, I hadn't had any trouble with the mobo, which performs really nice IMHO.
