Everything is for the most part default aside from voltages and clocks. I do use the Intel RAID for my boot drives and was fully prepared to get my hands dirty in dmraid to get the partitions recognized and all that. But I never even got that far, as it was hanging while booting LiveCDs. I'll head into the BIOS and turn anything that even smells like "gimmick" off.

I have had no problem with two of my systems. Using the basic Ubuntu install I downloaded. And seem to recall I used Puppy for a demo too.
Installs no problems here.
I might try Ubuntu just to see if it works. That's probably a pretty lenient distro as far as hardware is concerned. Really any Linux is better than Cygwin or Windows Telnet clients for doing my work remotely!
Thanks for the replies guys.
