I've built myself a nice Linux desktop, but not without considerable discomfort along the way. I based it on the same CPU/motherboard combo that I'd used to build my XP-Pro machine, because I knew it well after that first experience. But making it all work with Windows was trivial compared with making it all work with Linux! Now my wife's Linux machine (an old HP Pavilion that was otherwise destined for the trash heap) has gone DOA. I want to build her a new replacement, and that's got me wondering if there's a motherboard out there somewhere that's especially Linux-friendly right out of the box. Does any such thing exist?
