Re: OT - Linux Friendly MOBO's

I would say beware of ACPI. While newer distros will detect and
configure for ACPI on the install, many older distros won't, and you can
look forward to a kernel recompile to get it working. Also, some
manufacturers have done a poor job of adhering to standards with ACPI,
which means that ACPI will not be fully functional under Linux.
