This is pure fud, can you actually back these claims up?
I have to agree. I have an ASUS M2NPV-VM which I find is exceptionally well supported in SuSE 10.3. There were some minor problems with sound with 10.2 but were resolved quickly with a change of driver. This motherboard supports an AMD 5000+ Dual Core with 1Gb NIC. It even has TV out on the video section. I only have 3G of ram but it takes more. The only external card I've plugged in was a RocketRaid hardware SATA controller which brought the system up to 8 drives and 2.5TB of raid 5, a combo of 4 drives MD software raid and 4 drives hardware raid. To date, I have found both the board and ASUS to be quite compatible with SuSE and very inexpensive. It is very comparable to my experiences with other vendors such as A-Open and FIC which I have also had good results and am still using.
