Hi all,
Since there has been several discussions and problems with ASUS motherboards, I thought this article might be of some interest to those considering one or wondering why many don't work with Linux well. Here is your URL:

It's also one of the reasons you've heard be put them "down" here and elsewhere. Their tech. support has ALWASYS given me a hard time BECAUSE of Linux. Tyan makes better boards anyway and is Linux friendly. :)
That probably depends on which board you use from Tyan. We've have had 5 Dual-Xeon boards from Tyan, 3 of which failed (miserably) within a month. One was DOA, in another box we had to replace a broken board twice. Service was ok though, in each case a new board was send without hassle. Theo -- Theo v.
