Well, I tried Net, Free, Open and then even WinXP, but the motherboard 
nic didn't work.  Same with some of the usb ports.

Left it with the vendor (GCS) to update bios since they have a usb 
floppy and i don't.  Still waiting on them for it.

Have a decent USB 1.1 NIC that works well. . .it was only $20 or so.

Will keep all informed. . .once the nic/usb issues are cleared up, the 
struggle with be with the CastleRock graphics card versus XFree. . .
