MSI K9NGM3 Motherboard
More testing tonight of this motherboard. This time I have an IDE CDROM Drive installed. Dyne 2.5.2 Boots up into graphical desktop - but no nic or sound. Puppy 2.16 no nic no sound boots into graphical desktop. NimbleX Graphical Desktop no nic no sound. Gos Live 2.0 would not even boot. Knoppix 5.1.1 loads graphical desktop but no beryl 3d, no sound, no nic.
Now for the sort of good news. Slax 6.0 boots into graphical desktop, nic works , sound works but my display is set at a very high resolution and everything is very tiny, I can barely read any text because it is so small, Volume was set to zero at first - so check that first if you think you have no sound. When I tried to login to blog.com it hung at about 50% and would not load this page. So although Slax seems to run on this board I can't really say it is good or very usable - but it is better than anything listed above.
If anyone else has got any Linux distro's to run "GOOD" on this motherboard please post a response and let me know. When I google this board I keep finding myself so evidently I am the only one running these tests and posting results at this moment. I will continue to do so.
