hi rony. I insidentally happen happened to install ubuntu 6.06 on a machine with exactly same configuration. the mobo was a giga byte 845. I did not find any problem and believe that debian should work as well. infact ubuntu went so smoothly that the gentelman has not used any thing ever since I installed it. he is in Neral and I had told you this when I was at your place for going to the bof meeting. if there are some other specifications you need about the config, do let me know.
Hi Krish, its not the same for all 845 chipsets and mobos. I feel that even within 845, there are different grades and maybe the GL chipset is low grade and not properly recognised by some linux distros. That client has an Intel original 845 GLVA. My own system has 845 GEBV2 and its the most compatible one with various distros.
Regards,
Rony.
