Well "excellent" varies :-) Sometimes they work ok, but other times you
really have to depend on your distro getting the details correct,
because it seems nvidia isn't always up to speed with good install /
uninstall scripts in their RPMS. You can always install from tar if you
want to.
If I were you I'd be more worried about the network and sound support,
depending on what you want to do with it (I've got an Asus A7N8X at
home). Mandrake 9.1 has good support out of the box on this board for
the sound and 3com adapter, which is fine as long as you don't plan on
using the nvnet adapter (which needs a proprietary driver downloadable
from nvidia).
