Debian and SuperMicro hardware

[pyro_six]

Hello. I plan on installing Debian on a machine with a supermicro X7DB8-X motherboard
1. Quad & Dual Core Intel® 64-bit Xeon®
Support, 667 / 1066 / 1333MHz FSB
2. Intel® 5000P (Blackford) Chipset
3. Up to 32GB DDR2 667 & 533 SDRAM
Fully Buffered DIMM (FB-DIMM)
4. Intel® (ESB2/Gilgal) 82563EB Dual-port
Gigabit Ethernet Controller
5. Adaptec AIC-7902 Dual Channel
Ultra320 SCSI
6. 6x SATA 3.0Gbps Ports via ESB2 Controller
SATA Controller
7. 3x 64-bit 133MHz PCI-X,
3x 64-bit 100MHz PCI-X
8. Zero-Channel RAID Support
9. ATI ES1000 Graphics with
16MB video memory
10. LP IPMI 2.0 (SIMLP) Slot)

Does anyone know if the motherboard and the distro are compatible? On their site they have drivers only for slackware and redhat. Thanks

The chances that anyone will happen to have the same specs will read this is pretty small. Your best bet is just to google the motherboard name with the distro name and see if tons of errors or people complaing comes up.

Thanks for the post and i must admit that you are right.
But i was also interested in the general degree of compatibility between debian and supermicro hardware...
