I bought a dh67bl with i7, for use with centos 6. Ultimately had to install fedora 15, as rhel is not yet supporting Intel Sandybridge architecture. Turns out, if you are putting in a separate graphics card, Linux will work very well on this board...however, if you propose to use onboard graphics port, only the bleeding edge distros like fedora or scientific linux will support it.
Reason is nothing but the new Intel Sandybridge architecture, which adds graphics (for non-high end graphic applications) to the processor. Due to the architecture being new, the LTS or Enterprise are not yet supporting it out of box, as the distros have not yet back-ported the drivers. I think centos 6.1 will be supporting sandybridge...so lots of graphics problems will be going away. Another problem is the onboard network card. Sometimes you need drivers for the newer hardware and those are not yet back-ported from bleeding edge distros. If you are willing to use a bleeding edge distros or adding a graphics/network card, most motherboards will work...even the new one....most!!!....not all!!!!
