As of Nov 2005 :

These are Athlon64 systems with ATI chipsets. Notes :

  • Redhat/Fedora/CentOS etc: install without a hitch - though early releases had a problem with partitioning the drives so you had to go through twice - first time to partition, 2nd time to install onto those partitions as the installer couldn't re-read the new partitions. Other than that - fine.
  • SuSE 10. Installs in 32-bit fine. 64-bit I had to actually disable APIC in the BIOS - just picking "No APIC" from the installer menu didn't do the trick. Other than that, fine.
  • Ubuntu. 64-bit can't find the HD's at all. 32-bit installs, but the sound module kernel-panics the machine so needs disabled....
