[...] I know a gentleman locally that said the same thing as he recommended and built most of his systems with Asus stuff. He became somewhat agitated also when I posted some articles about the problems with that hardware, but he soon realized many of the problems he was having with his customers equipment was due to the Asus brand. He hasn't purchased another Asus board since and will quickly join into the "don't buy Asus" cry when the subject comes up now.
I am not interested in your little stories at all. I care about the facts. The fact here is: a VIA southbridge is not supported by the Linux kernel. Your conclusion is: don't buy ASUS hardware. THAT'S SIMPLY AN ABSURD CONCLUSION. You're misusing this thread to bash ASUS, your other statements show this as well ("especially with so many better brands available today", etc.). So please stop it! This is not helpful. Other manufacturers use also VIA southbridges, so the OP would face the same problems even if he bought another brand. Do you want to bash now all of these companies? *sic* T. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
