Phoronix use the latest If a motherboard is completely compatible with ubuntu, one would think there would be n problems running debian etch on it. I like ASUS too. My main (7 year old) asus box was based around an A7V-133 Athlon thunderbird cpu (way too slow now) but it was rock solid for years, running etch (actually etch was testing at that time), later lenny, until about 2 months ago when I upgraded. I wanted to upgrade on a budget, so I ended up getting a combo cpu/motherboard (AMD 64-bit dual core cpu) about 2 months ago, and I chose an ECS 6100-pn-m motherboard, which is fairly cheap. It's a microatx form factor, support for PCI add on cards is minimal, but has ethernet (only 100/10, though) nvidia 6100 graphics on chip, nvidia almost everything else, actually. There's only one IDE slot (2 devices) but 4 or so SATA ports, which are all 3.0gbps. Lots of USB headers too. I've been running it 2 months or so now with 64 bit ubuntu hardy. URL is close to what i have, may be the exact model here: http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWebSite/Products/ProductsDetail.aspx?DetailID=685&CategoryID=1&DetailName=Feature&MenuID=46&LanID=9 (If the URL got cut off, I'm sure you can find it at ecs.com.tw.) > I'm still looking at AM2 because I don't like intel but I'm open to compelling > arguments. This one is AM2/AM2+. Supports Phenom cpu's but I didn't have that much money to spend. :) > Shachar Or | שחר אור
