Opteron Mobo Suggestions

[t004 at kbocek.com (Kirk Bocek)]

I've been planning to build a dual Opteron server for awhile. I'd like 
to get people's suggestions on a suitable motherboard.

I've looked at the Tyan K8SE (S2892) and K8SRE (S2891) but would like to 
find more Linux-specific experiences with these boards.

Some features I expect are at least 4 SATA (SATA-300?) ports, serial 
console support in the BIOS, USB 2.0 and IEEE-1394 ports, low-end 
on-board video.

Anyone care to share their experiences?
