What are the best motherboards to work with Linux?

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."

chipset (at $55) will work satisfactorily?
