The point I am trying to make is that by now linux should be developed to atleast that decent level where it can be installed on any regular/popular motherboard without having to experiment with different distros. What's the point of freedom if I can't choose my favourite distro ( That too a 2006 release) for a new motherboard. Just as in windows, I don't expect linux to have all drivers built in but atleast it should load and install with basic drivers as in windows instead of throwing up errors like that. I have had no problems of 915 chipsets with XP.
