Any particular reason why a board from a more cooperative manufacturer wouldn't suffice? http://www.mozillaquest.com/Linux04/Asus_Sucks_Story-01.html
What on Earth is the significance of how "cooperative" a vendor is? Who needs there cooperation? You look at their hardware. If it's suits your needs and has support under Linux, you can choose it. If not, you don't.
For the life of me, I don't understand this vendetta against ASUS.
Either you retained nothing from reading the provided link, or you didn't read it. Modern mass produced components do not have a 0% failure rate. Quite typically with modern vendors when the first 30 days after purchase has passed, they require the purchaser to deal with the manufacturer if warranty issues arise. When you think you have a warranty claim, you must convince the manufacturer you have a reasonable claim before they will authorize a warranty procedure. Good luck to you overcoming this obstacle when Asus learns you use Linux. Asus' horrid web site is reason enough to avoid their products anyway. -- "Let your conversation be always full of grace."
