I've been running a Gigabyte P35-DS4 with Intel Quad Core and 4GB ram
for nearly a year and it's been solid as a rock with CentOS. The disk
subsystem is well supported in AHCI mode, and decent drivers are now
available for the onboard nic (there's a dkms-enabled driver in
RPMForge). Being a server, I've not tested other onboard features such
as sound etc. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another.
