Are you using it exclusively on server-class machines?

Personally, the closest I've come to it not working on a desktop is it 
not having support for the  AC '97 sound chipset, which I had to build a 
module for. Admittedly, most of what I put it on would generally lean 
towards good compatability in any case (lots of intel and 
not-quite-cutting-edge NVidia).

If I'm installing a server, it'll generally get Debian.
