Mike,
I used to use SuSE for everything, moved away from it a few years back over some issues with wireless cards that I grew tired of having to fix with each laptop install.
But for this it might work just peachy... Though I did find drivers for the chipset that's causing problems on the motherboard. After going through three reseller levels, I found the OEM and they have RedHat and SuSE drivers, so I'm going to try out RedHat this weekend since it's already downloaded.

Thanks!
Don.
