I read that Shuttle XPC SB75G2 ships with Mandrake 9.2 CDs http://www.shuttle.com/share/news_ [...] 092103.pdf -- so can I assume that Fedora will work properly on the Shuttle and all drivers will be either available or findable on the net somewhere?

Sounds reasonable, yeh. Worst case scenario is probably recompiling some Mandrake SRPMs for Fedora. Personally, I'd just run Mandrake... :-)

There shouldn't be a problem since drivers (usually) are kernel modules. If you can't find the drivers on the net, you can take them from the Mandrake cds and install it under fedora.

what is the chip set? shuttel is not a chipset manufacture. thats what matters. if its a Nforce2 board get teh drivers from NVIDIA. all others should be compiled into the chip set. your other problem is what video card. if its NVIDA you will have to install in text mode. start at init 3 and install the nvida driver. remember to do a export CC=gcc32
then rpm -e --nodeps XFree86-Mesa-libGL (you will have to keep this libary on hand to update using apt or yum) this libary will kill 3d in fedora but is need for some RPM's.
and remove dri from your XF86Config file.
easy right...

The chipset is Intel 875P and ICH5-R.
As for video card I was just thinking of putting an old GeForce4 MX 440 I have lying around into it. And do I really have to do a special install with to get nVidia cards working properly? I installed mandrake with a GeForce2 GTS a while ago and it worked fine...

Yeh it'll work fine out of the box with the XFree86 "nv" drivers. But if you want 3D acceleration and a few other niceties you need to use nVidia's "nvidia" driver and OpenGL libraries.
