Given that AOL rejects my mail at SMTP connect:

$ telnet mailin-01.mx.aol.com 25
Trying 205.188.156.122...
Connected to yb.mx.aol.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
554- (RTR:BB)  The IP address you are using to connect to AOL is a dynamic
554- (residential) IP address.  AOL will not accept future e-mail transactions

Yes, please do us a favor and disable HTML-messages. I'm like Jeff,
HTML-mails go directly into the spam folder unless the sender is
whitelisted.

On topic: All current VIA-mainboards (except for the Athlon64 ones) are
pretty well supported so you may wanna get one of those. Same with
nForce3 mainboards, however you'll need the nVidia drivers for them to
run at full speed.

I'd also add that HTML messages are not good. On my system they go directly 
into the spam folder, unless the sender is whitelisted.

On topic, I have three systems with VIA motherboards and all of them run 
Woody/Sarge/Sid w/o problems. These days, anything that's not too esoteric 
will probably work fine right out of the box.

Hello,
I'm Trying to trying to buy a new motherboard for Debian 3.0 Woody.  I'm 
hoping that you would recommend some new motherboards (Support P4 or AMD doesn't 
matter) that I would have no problem installing debian on.  I'm a new user, so 
I'm kind of lost here. 
I appreciate your help and thanks for your time.

You probably only need to hit the "send" button once (seven copies of 
the message ended up on the list).

As far as motherboards go, I believe that Via chipsets are the best 
supported under any flavor of Linux.  Though, I have an nForce2 
motherboard that is pretty nice, but it has onboard ethernet for which 
there is only binary drivers available (meaning that I have to get them 
from nVidia and install them into the kernel, which just an extra step 
of hassle).  I would definitely not recommend an nForce board for a 
Linux newbie.

Depending on what you will use the machine for, you need to decide on 
whether you want onboard network/sound/video/whetever.  The more stuff 
you get offboard, the more choice you have.  If you just don't care and 
want a machine that will let you surf the web, check email, and use a 
word processor, then the cheapest motherboard you can find with onboard 
everything should do you fine.
