I'm considering building a network gateway using a Via EpiaCN10000EG
motherboard like seen here:
http://www.logicsupply.com/product_info.php/cPath/79/products_id/444
I've heard that this is a pretty recent mobo and drivers for it are in
Ubuntu but that a 2.6.9.x CentOS kernel might have troubles with it.
Anyone have any opinions on this mobo?
Thanks

Take care of the cpu: some Via C3 are not real "i686" cpu: so your
"embedded Centos" will not boot.
VIA Nehemiah is a real i686 cpu (so, no problem): we use Gralinux AS 3
(like Centos 3.8) without any problem, Centos 4 should works too.
VIA Samuel 2 is a i586 (so you will have problems with it if your linux
distro is not full "i386/i586"): impossible to install the OS in it (because
of some i686 binaries in the Linux distro)
Except that CentOS (probably 'unlike' Gralinux ? ) provides i586 support
specifically for via processors, as a bonus for CentOS users that is not
provided upstream.
