I'm considering building a network gateway using a Via EpiaCN10000EG motherboard like seen here: http://www.logicsupply.com/product_info.php/cPath/79/products_id/444

I've heard that this is a pretty recent mobo and drivers for it are in Ubuntu but that a 2.6.9.x CentOS kernel might have troubles with it.

Anyone have any opinions on this mobo?

Thanks

Take care of the cpu: some Via C3 are not real "i686" cpu: so your "embedded Centos" will not boot.

VIA Nehemiah is a real i686 cpu (so, no problem): we use Gralinux AS 3 (like Centos 3.8) without any problem, Centos 4 should works too. VIA Samuel 2 is a i586 (so you will have problems with it if your linux distro is not full "i386/i586"): impossible to install the OS in it (because of some i686 binaries in the Linux distro)

Except that CentOS (probably 'unlike' Gralinux ? ) provides i586 support specifically for via processors,

So it "should" work if there is no i686 code .... :) Gralinux use a lot of i686 code (same thing for the embedded version): the problem is there.

as a bonus for CentOS users that is not provided upstream.

For infos, a woody installed in a Via Samuel 2 (500Mhz fanless) works great :)
