I have such a board (the Deluxe variant) in my desktop computer, on which
I have recently installed FreeBSD 5.4. Aside that one of the onboard LAN
devices wasn't detected with the generic kernel (the other one did though,
right now I can't remember wether it was the nVidia one or the Marvell), I
haven't experienced any showstopper issues. But I haven't really done
anything with it yet either...

I intend to install X Windows on it soon and if I do run into any problems
I will be sure to mention them here.
