I just wanted to add my board to your list.
I've been running Mandriva 2005le thru 2007.1 x86 with absolutely no issues . I've used all of the bios from the original to 9.1 which added support for my 3700. Ubuntu Kubuntu 6.06, Sabayon have also ran well.
I haven't had to pass any special options to the bootloader or disable any bios settings, it just works.
agp 8x fast writes enabled, legacy usb support enabled, mem timmings 2-3-2-2 command rate 1T.
The only quirk is if you have just Sata HD's you cannot use IDE 1 for your Cdrom's or split them and have a reader on ide 1 and the burner on ide 2.. it just won't post.
Even though it's an older board I figured if anyone had one and was thinking about giving Linux a try or installing Linux and passing it down to a relative, they should expect no issues.
I just bought a K8T Neo2 v2 board to upgrade my wifes comp with my old newcastle 3500. I'll be installing Mandy on it as well, I'll comment on it's compatibility later.
