Currently running Debian 7, has run Debian 6 and 5. No issues under any version, just works (although the machine is being used as a firewall, so I don't use either the audio or the video stuff).

Installed SuSE Linux 9.2 Professional. The system would slow to a crawl once the boot process got to initializing the USB hardware. After a little googling on the net I discovered several people had similar problems and the solution is to disable ACPI/Power management. After that was done everything else worked perfectly. This system has been up and stable 24/7 for four months prior to my writing this working as a network fileserver (900G total on a SIIG Ultra ATA 133 controller) for my home.
