Can this MB be used with Centos 4 (or 5)?
For reference: http://www.logicsupply.com/products/ms_9832
I don't think we can use this new MB since the Realtek 8111C does not seem to be supported (well)

On that URL it says:
'Availability: Expected 03/28/2009
Please choose “Mainboard Test” to ensure that the board is free from manufacturer’s defects, errors, etc. If “Mainboard Test” is selected, please allow 1-2 full business days for completion before shipment date.'
If you are a customer of logicsupply maybe you can get them to test one of those boards, after they receive them, with a CentOS Live CD, to see if everything works properly. <snip.
Going back to the first days of January, when I thought the mainboard in my Desktop box needed to be repaired or replaced, first I looked at an MSI board in the store where the motherboard repairman is. Then, at a Biostar. I went to the web sites of both manufacturers. From Biostar, I was able to download their manuals, etc., which I like a lot. No experience with either company and not with that technology. Dell put a FoxConn mainboard in this Dell Dimension and I noticed that one of our other Dell Dimensions has a FoxConn PSU. Many people here on this list can give you much better data, but do check out the web sites of the mainboard OEMs you are interested in. Hopefully, some people here will recommend HW for you.

You can make that work, someone just posted a link to an alternative sk98lin module to the atrpms one a few weeks ago.
Realtek nics are crap anyway, but given the mobo, I don't think critical availability is your primary need.

In the back of my mind, I have down that the motherboard repairman was not enthusiastic about MSI mainboards. The vast majority of the boards he works on are for desktops and possibly in that building, where there are a lot of stores that sell computers and components, the majority of the boards sold are MSI. He seemed much more enthusiastic about the Biostar board, had I needed one. (New PSU eliminated the problems). I suggest you read reviews on http://www.motherboards.org/ and newegg.com and tigerdirect.com for similar boards made by MSI and other companies, to get an idea of their quality and reliability. The Realtek NIC could be the least of your problems with an MSI board?

Okay, switching to a diferent chipset, how about the Realtek RTL8110SC?

It looks like the el5 plus kernel has support?

I am not looking to tax it too much.
