Great idea doing Linux hardware reviews -- I'd love to see more of them, but when the question that's as important to some of us as whether it does Linux at all isn't covered, it's not all that useful.
Are all drivers available in four-freedom respecting form, or must one consent to running slaveryware in ordered to run some of the hardware? What about video? It's a PCI-E video slot. What's the best PCI-E based video card available with reliable and four-freedom respecting drivers? AFAIK, Intel's about the best in freedom respecting video ATM, and they are all Intel-only mobo integrated, thus wouldn't be available here.
