After doing more research, I found that the SuperMicro boards do maintain a compat list with various versions of Unix / Linux / RedHat. I wound up with a dual Xeon server board that works good. Altho not specifically stated to work with CentOS, it is certified to work with RH9, and that was enough for me to give it a try. Good board to boot. This one is the X6DAEG2, and there are several versions of the X6 board series, some with and without scsi controllers on board, some with and without video. This one happens to not have video or the SCSI controller, but does have a dual SATA controller. Hope this helps some.. Sam -- Snowman
