my experiance has been they work fine with linux.  however, i can't recommend
them.  they can only cache 128mb of ram and i find that unacceptable.  a
better
choice might be a mother board based on the VIA MVP3 chipset since they
usually
can cache 256mb or more of ram and the chipsets seem to be a little less buggy
and better supported.
