Assuming it's the Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeMusic card, Creative don't have any drivers for it and there have been a few moans that it wont detect under linux (no solutions that I can find at the moment)
The 8600GT isn't a problem though. linky (Ubuntu specific as that's what I run)

Not sure if this link will give you it directly but will these work?

Ethernet will be automatically picked up... in fact, if you're using a well-supported distro such as Ubuntu you'll most likely be surprised at how much is automagically detected and configured ready for use.
For example, whenever I have to re-install Windows, I always seem to forget to install the drivers for my Epson RX420 printer/scanner until I need to print something and wonder why it's not working. Whenever I've had to reinstall Xubuntu, on the other hand, I've not had to think about it... I just click Print and Xubuntu is already aware of my printer and has everything ready to go.
Unless you've got a bleeding edge motherboard, you should be fine.

I stand corrected, as long as your running a 64bit distro the shouldn't be a problem.
