What are the best motherboards to work with Linux? (say the top 3 or 4) More specifically, are there _any_ that have onboard video, sound, and modems that would be considered "good" and that are _known_ to work with Linux "out of the box." Does anyone know if the AOpen motherboard AK77-400N with VIA KT400A chipset (at $55) will work satisfactorily? Its other specs are as follows: # Support 333MHz System Bus # AMD Athlon XP Socket A CPU # Support AMD Athlon XP 3000+ Barton CPU # Support DDR400 # Support ATA133 IDE Interface # Support AGP 8X # CPU Jumper-less Design # 1MHz Stepping CPU Overclocking # Adjustable CPU Vcore through BIOS # Adjustable AGP Voltage # Adjustable Memory Voltage # Large Low ESR Capacitors # WatchDog ABS -- Intelligent Overclocking Anti-lock Break System # AGP Protection Technology # AMD XP Over Heat Protection (OHP) # CPU Over Current Protection (OCP) # Hardware Monitoring # SilentBIOS Noise Reduction Technology # SilentTek Noise Reduction Technology # Chassis Intrusion Detector # Resetable Fuse for Keyboard and USB # AC Power-On Auto Recovery # Battery-less & Long-life Design # Dr LED Debug Tool (optional module) # JukeBox CD player # Vivid BIOS Technology # EzWinFlash BIOS # Multi-Language BIOS # Support DMI management under Windows # Wake on Keyboard/ Mouse # Wake on LAN # Wake on Modem # Wake on PCI Card # Wake on RTC Timer # EzRestore/ProMagic HDD Crash Protection # Suspend to Disk (ACPI S4) # Suspend to RAM (ACPI S3) # BIOS Virus Protection # DieHard BIOS Lite # AOpen Black Pearl PCB --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
