I gave up on Asus years ago: http://www.mozillaquest.com/Linux04/Asus_Sucks_Story-01.html
Interesting note, a bit peculiar because in openSuSE webpage many mainboards that work well with Linux are Asus: http://en.opensuse.org/HCL/Main_Boards#ATX In Linux-Hardware.org happens the same: http://www.linux-hardware.org/hardware/liste2.php?hersteller=asus&geraet=&kategorie=Mainboard not the same with MSI: http://www.linux-hardware.org/hardware/liste2.php?hersteller=MSI&geraet=&kategorie=Mainboard
Nope, I'm not looking for fight I just would like to have a good mainboard that will have zero problems with Linux, any recomendations are welcome. =)
I've bought new boards made Asus, Biostar, PC Chips, Tyan, AOpen, Intel, FIC, Abit, Soyo, & Giga-Byte according to total feature set, only one portion of which is manufacturer reputation. Counting those acquired used, I've used boards from virtually every manufacturer. Everyone makes some bad ones. Sometimes the only problem is a BIOS defect, which ought to be easy to fix, but sometimes never happens. ATM my 2 24/7 systems are based on Intel 478 & 775 chips on PC Chips and Abit boards with Intel chipsets.
PS: Is it like, most Linux users test Asus Mainboards? are those mainboards so common? Here the most common are MSI and PCChips =/ PS2: 29.5% of DVD ISO yah for me ^^; 3 more days =P~
The Asus URL I provided is not about product engineering quality. The problem is about the sufficiency of manufacturer support for those in the unfortunate circumstance of needing it while not being a windoz user. -- "Let your conversation be always full of grace."
