The installation takes just as long as with any other system without any complications. Admittedly the board has to be treated with the mainboard drivers, then with the audio and graphic drivers before one can really work with it. Without extra drivers the system reduces the resolution to 640x400 with poor 4bit colour depth. That is actually not to bad, since the driver CD is delivered with the mainboard and the installations runs rather quick.

The first booting takes just a few minutes and ends unfortunately in a problem report of the TFT "Video Mode not supported". That problem can be caused by the fact, that TFTs can not be driven with 59 MHZ, which some system software do without fine tuning. Or Linux can't handle the onboard graphic unit without the extra drivers. But to come to Linux defence also Windows came up with a peculiar 4bit graphic without the original drivers. Since I'm not one of the most experienced Linux users I could not investigate the case more specifically. A further investigation will be handed in later.
