I use it and have used it for about a month and a half.
It works superb, even though I had to install the latest BIOS. (QQ-2)
I have not used the HPT366 interface but according to friends who use it
they say it works great. I have dual 500MHz Celereons.
I can only recommend it but there are sites on the Internet which deal
with problems running BP6 + Linux. I haven't needed them though :)
