Hey,
I saw the postings about the DS3P. Has anybody tried the DS3R with Linux?
I'm somewhat of a beginner when it comes to choosing a Linux distribution and a motherboard that work together. I read an article (about the DS3L) that says it mostly works with Linux. Just a few questions:
1) Can I make a RAID (either 1 or 5) boot drive using the DS3R motherboard and then have this dual boot from within Linux?
What is the sequence I should use to make a dual-boot (of say, Fedora and WinXP) with drives RAID'ed using the motherboard's BIOS?
2) Gigabyte's web site says to visit manufacturer pages for Linux drivers for the motherboard. Does anybody know if Ethernet, RAID, sound, USB, etc. (from the motherboard) all work out-of-box for Fedora or any other Linux distro? If not, what's the best way to install with these things?
Is any similar motherboard better to use with Linux? I'm looking for on-board RAID, good sound, SATA 3.0, dual core processors like the E6750.
Thanks so much in advance for any advice you can give a beginner.
