Well, it's not just attitude with Asus, they specifically don't like Linux and make their motherboards not to like Linux. That was in the article. That speaks pretty strongly how likely their boards are to be incompatible with Linux. Sorry, I don't remember the url to give you.

I haven't really read that but I have two Asus motherboards and I don't really have any problem with them. (Except for the LAN chip on the P4R800-VM.) Besides, when RHEL3.0 was having trouble with the on-board Intel Network Adapter (LAN chip) on the P4C800 Deluxe, I found a driver for it. Guess where? On the Asus site ;) http://www.asus.com/support/download/item.aspx?ModelName=P4C800-E%20Deluxe Btw, FWIW, I'd still recommend Tyan or Supermicro for servers. Actually, I don't use any other. Besides, I use them for my workstations, too. -- - E - on SUSE 9.1 | KDE 3.3 | ASUS P4C800 Deluxe \ Pentium 4 3.0GHz | Tachyon G9600 PRO-M \ Transcend 2GB RAM | copperwalls was here ;) Just finished installing SUSE 9.1 on a ThinkPad T41 :) "Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up." - 1 Corinthians 8:1
