Hello everyone: While I agree than anyone can experience problems with any hardware, regardless of the name on the box, I have had good luck with Asus MBs. My oldest box (now running for 7 years) is an AMD K6 350 Mhz machine and while there have been hardware issues, none of those were MB issues. My two newest machines are both AMD64 on Asus MBs running SuSE 9.3 / 64-bit mode. [In fact, one machine is dual-boot with windoze XP Home.] One has been running without a hiccup for more than 14 months. The other is new but, here again, no problems. As I've never tried to use Asus support, I can't comment on that. But, given my good experiences with Asus / SuSE linux, I would suggest that anyone looking for a new MB should ask around before putting their money down. Yes, I've seen the comments about poor performance but, as I said, those comments can apply to any product.
My ASUS Athlon MB has been working well with Linux, for over 3 years. I also, have not needed support.
