I think it depends on your other hardware... Debian sarge with 2.6.8 is 
working great for me on a gigabyte Nforce3 with a PVR250. I'm using ivtv 
2rc3.

I had 2.4.26 had some problems with various nforce2 (and 3?) chipsets, I 
think maybe .27 has that fixed. But I don't believe it supports the 
Nforce3 SATA hardware properly.
