[opensuse] Asus P5K3 Deluxe motherboard + OpenSUSE 10.3
Hi, I'm looking at building a new all Linux PC soon, been going through all my Windows apps and finding Linux equivalents (almost got everything covered). I've decided to build the machine to co-incide with the release of 10.3. I've settled on an Intel core 2 quad CPU, 2+GB RAM 120GB + 500GB SATA2 HD's etc. Couple of things I've not pinned down, main one is the motherboard, I'm leaning towards an Asus P5K3 Deluxe as it ticks all the boxes and looks sufficiently high quality to last. http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=3&l2=11&l3=534&l4=0&model=1645&modelmenu=1 Although I'm happy that the chipset will be supported I've not found any info regarding the built in periferals (i.e LAN, Wi-Fi, FireWire etc). In addition to using the machine as a regular desktop I also want to use it as part of my hobby recording studio (synth music) and have decided to take the plunge and use the DAW/studio software Linux has to offer so a nice quick stable machine is important. If anyone has an opinion on this mobo I'd be interested in hearing it.

You take your chances with anything ASUS teaming it up with Linux. There are better choices. bye -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
