Hi!
I'm considering purchasing a Shuttle SB62G2 system for Gentoo. Does anyone have any experiences with this? Anything I should be aware of?

No experience myself, but looking through the specs the only problems I would expect are in setting up (serial ATA) RAID. The Intel RAID chip is supported under Windows XP only, according to http://us.shuttle.com/spec/SB62G2_DM.pdf
Of course, you´ll also need a driver for the built-in graphics card or put in a separate AGP card with a known driver. |

I'm planning to use it for server-only purposes, so the graphics I'm not worrying about (All communication will be via SSH).
The S-ATA drive will be no problem? These are fully supported under Gentoo/Linux?

Hmm, too bad the dude never replied to let us know whether that fixed his problem... 
Maybe I should go for traditional IDE instead...

Well, the SB62G2 has been ordered, with S-ATA, so let's see how far I get with getting the beast operational when it arrives...
