I'v got an FIC AZ-11. From my experience, Iw ould suggest not getting it. It works fine with linux, but the first board I got was a lemon, something wrong with the memory slots that deteriorated to the point it couldn't even boot without locking up, and the replacement I got seems to have broken USB support (USB worked just fine witht he first one, now devices don't even show in /proc/bus/usb/devices). Good luck :) -Dan
