hmmm, never tried "pure" unix before..... it says it runs programs built for linux, so thats a plus. as long as all the commands and everything are the same i should be good...

Yea, there are some differences, but that's just like the differences between all the different flavors of *nix.

Most software built for Linux is *nix compatible, but there will always be a few that stand out.

I say you try it and see how you like it.

yea they make great Mobos but theyre (recent) customer service sucks ass, i gotta send them the bios chip for my p4c800-e so i can take this POS out and sell it. you want another one billy?

and to JW, the only knoppix ive ever really used was Knoppix STD (security tools distro) and i thought that was good, today i just tried PHLAK (pro. hackers linux assult kit) and its about 20x better then Knoppix STD. its based off of a debian live distro, idk what its called though

it seems FreeBSD doesnt like USB keyboards. i told it to load with the usb drivers and it didnt work so i figured it was this stupid mobo, then i went home and tried it and the same thing happened

Use Fedora Core 4, it used to be the free Red Hat distrobution. Mandrake is good also to give it a shot. ive worked with many of these linux distros for about 8 or 9 years so far.

guess so, even though the no. 7 option on the screen says something that amounts to "use USB keyboard" and it recognizes it but it wont work i had half of FC5 downloaded (the dvd) then the stupid internet here decided to kick me off and make me reauthenticate so i just decided to download the dapper drake beta (kubuntu 6.06) and see if it will run any better then what i have on here now idk if its the distro screwin up or the mobo bein ******...
