Hi Don,

Last week I installed RH 9 on an ASUS A7V600.  I know, its *not* the
same board -- has different North and South Bridges.  But the install
went very smoothly.  Could you could try Red Hat 9?

In my (limited) experience, RH 9 seems to have slightly better hardware
support than Fedora Core 1 (FC1 gave me *fits* with a certain 3Com NIC
that had worked nicely w/ RH 9).  I'm sure the Fedora project will
improve over time but for the moment I'd try the slightly older distro.

good luck,
Ed
