I truly don't understand why everyone whines about Asus main boards so much - I haven't used anything but Asus boards in years snip just keeps working, much to the annoyance of everyone who says Asus boards are crap.
I agree, that's all I've used for years and I have always been totally satisfied. I understand (according to what I read) that Asus has an anti-Linux attitude, and some people might avoid them for that reason, especially in an enterprise setting where one might want to be assured of tech support. However, as a home user I never had any reason to call for tech support, and I am talking about numerous Linux-only systems, so even though I am very disappointed with Asus' attitude towards Linux (and have sent emails telling them so), I can build my Linux systems with Asus boards with confidence that they will work completely trouble-free. In my case no Asus board I have ever used ever needed any tweaking whatsoever to run Linux. I also have never had any kind of failure whatsoever with an Asus motherboard.
