The compatibility info. was not on the mandrake site. I could not find anything on the web about linux compatibility. I was in email contact with a support person from amptron, and he said that the board and all the components are compatible with Linux.
So, I will be purchasing a machine with this board. Hopefully, all will work.
Thanks all for replying.
Here is the email without the full addresses.
