Randy, You're just being silly now.
And you're just being condescending and dismissive.
You know as well as many others, there have been long standing problems with Asus motherboards and Linux. Not just new, bleeding edge types but older, should be supported types as well. There have been articles about the attitude of Asus towards Linux and their lack of support or offer of help to resolve a problem with their hardware.
Who cares what their attitude is? Corporations all have bad attitudes about some things, usually lots of things. You buy some hardware and you're on your own from there. Same as with any product from any manufacturer.
Just because you might own one doesn't make it good, just that you made the same mistake many other people did in their decision making process for buying hardware.
Yeah, fork you, too. I made the choice I did for my own reasons, which are valid by definition. I did not make a mistake, I have an excellent system based on the Asus P5B.
He doesn't have to discard his hardware purchase because of a few problems, that seems very illogical on your part to mention that, but he will have to live with the problems associated with his decision in choosing bad hardware to use with Linux.
You're the one that suggested that he invalidate his existing purchase. To wit: "Probably one of the best things you could do is stop using ASUS products." In any event, their hardware isn't "bad," some of its components are merely unsupported at this time.
