[snip] At Zenith we have been working with tonz of Intel Desktop boards.....nd believe me, if u were a gnu-linux enthusiast, u would prefer to keep away frm these boards even if the vendor would thrown in a lovely package.

*chop*

Hmmm... I have been through many of the Intel channel meets. They do give an impression even to dealers that their mobos are really high end. Unless you are talking server boards, everything else is plain hogwash.

IMHO, Intel motherboards and even *Intel Chipsets* suck! My AMD K6-2 350 with a VIA chipset, does faster I/O than a Intel Pentium III with an Intel Chipset.

I find Linux support for mobo's from manufacturers like ASUS and Gigabyte is great. Also they are much better than Intel ones in design. The only regret is that they hurt your pocket.
