Well so far it seems to be working OK.  I was pleasantly surprised that
FC4 loaded with not problems.  Sounds was detected and works fine, video
was detected and works, network interface works, no problems using the
SATA controller for the only harddrive to boot from.  

My other mythtv system I needed to get a driver for the marvell network
interface and I had to play with alsa to get sound to work correctly.

Will see in a month or two once I get this box in production to see how
the motherboard works out.  :)
