Hi Don I have put Ubuntu-Studio 14.04 on a bunch of garden variety AMD motherboards with no problems. Jack has worked well. I pretty much only use them for audio. I do uninstall Pulseaudio, and the install DVD would not boot on the ASUS board, even though it recognizes a Knoppix dvd recorded on the DVD drive.
I just plugged the hard drives into the Gigabyte board for installation, and then moved them over to the Asus board before update. They work fine on built in audio and M-audio pci cards and M-audio USB boxes. Gigabyte GA-MA785GM-US2H Asus M3A32-MVP HP Pavilion a1114n 1 RU Riverbed Server with Intel 64 bit and PCI-e Oxygen CM8838 (or 8828 - cant read) sound card at 192 kHz for FM stereo composite) I hope this is useful! There might be some issues with video cards for video production, but garden variety seems to work pretty well for audio.
