I bought one for a mythtv frontend.  So far everything works EXCEPT for 
the nvidia video chip.  The drivers are still forthcoming.

During the install, you have to choose the driver for the sata_nv 
because FC4 doesn't recognize the controller. 

The nic isn't recognized by the installer either.  I put a different nic 
in long enough to do the install.  Once you update to the latest kernel, 
the nic works fine.

I haven't messed with sound at all yet but it looks like it should with 
the intel8x0 drivers.
