Speaking of ASUS mobo
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: http://www.mozillaquest.com/Linux04/Asus_Sucks_Story-01.html Lee -- --- KMail v1.6.2 --- SuSE Linux Pro v9.1 --- Registered Linux User #225206 On any other day, that might seem strange...

I was surprised and disappointed to read about the apparent attitude of Asus towards the Linux operating system, not to mention Linux-using customers, as recounted here: http://www.mozillaquest.com/Linux04/Asus_Sucks_Story-01.html What year is this, 1995? Isn't it time for a supposedly advanced company like Asus to join the modern computing era? I have used Asus motherboards exclusively in all my computers for the past seven years. I have been very satisfied with every Asus board I ever purchased, most of which are in Linux-only systems. The Linux-only system on which I am typing this letter is running an Asus motherboard. I am dumbfounded that Asus, a company I admired until now, would be the subject of such an article as the one linked above. I don't have to tell you there are plenty of other motherboard companies out there who have enough sense to build boards that work according to accepted standards and answer valid customer inquiries with real information, not irrelevant blow-offs. ******************************************************** Powered by SuSE Linux 8.2 Professional KDE 3.1.1 KMail 1.5.1 This is a Microsoft-free computer Bryan S.

After reading the article... I guess it is more disconcerting that they just don't seem to care about *any* customer, much less one running Linux. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.

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. :) Fred -- "Ballmer is no more designed for the art of persuasion than the Abrams tank is for delivering meals on wheels."

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.

No problems yet. At least they replaced them without a hassle. Fred -- "Ballmer is no more designed for the art of persuasion than the Abrams tank is for delivering meals on wheels."
