Thank you for the reply. I have gotten a text mode install and got the onboard network card to work. I still cannot get any video card to work on the server as well as the SATA hard drives or any PCI card. I will probably put this motherboard in a windows desktop. Does anyone know of a motherboard that sells for $50-$100 that is Socket 775 and works properly with Fedora Core 5. I need the pci slots to work as well as both ide and serial ATA. Gigabyte, Asus, A-Bit, MSI, or Intel would be preferred. We have had problems with ECS, PC-Chips, Chaintek, Mercury, and Syntax in the past and I would prefer to stay away from them. Thank you Jon Shorie Medina County Sanitary Engineers
