Linux, FreeBSD support?

[ice799]

I am considering purchasing the DFI LANPARTY nF4 SLI-DR motherboard and I was curious as to current Linux and FreeBSD support for these boards...

 

Has anyone used linux or BSD with success?

 

Is the hardware controller supported?

 

Any information is greatly appreciated.

I don't know about FreeBSD, but the latest releases of most Linux distributions should work without a problem.

 

The onboard IDE and SATA work, the onboard Nvidia ethernet works, but the driver was buggy last time I tried it.

I have a 4400 X2 CPU on my motherboard, and was able to get CentOS 4.1 to boot correctly doing a SMP kernel. I loaded up the NVidia proprietary drivers and X windows screams! GLXgears looked like I was in the starship enterprise going to warp 8. I did not do any raid stuff though I am familiar with it on linux. I have not done any SLI stuff either. Hope you have a successful linux experience.

I built a knoppix cd to boot when the system is goosed (usually when tinkering). Worked fine. Why not get the Solaris disks over at Sun?

works fine under linux the only thing that dosent work is the nvidia hardware raid. You can do a software raid setup in linux but it just doesn't recognize the hardware raid setup options specifed in the nvraid utility.
