[geeks] Impressive...

[Lionel Peterson]

   It appears OpenSolaris supports the Realtek Gigabit Ethernet NIC with
   no problems (as of the 2008.11 release/build)
   If you google the MB model and OpenSolaris[0] there are many hits,
   mainly for low-end NAS units based on the MB, typically with a PCI
   four-port SATA controller and ZFS (Baby Thumper?)...

   Ditto. I have one running Debian with a 64-bit Xen Dom0 kernel and
   multiple
   64-bit Linux DomUs and it's working like a charm. Only complaint I
   have is
   that the fan on the northbridge of the D945GCLF2 is a POS... Last week
   I
   discovered that mine had stopped turning a while ago - no wonder the
   whining had stopped!
