For the records, I've been using a VIA-based MB for over a year without 
a single problem. It would seem that the KT333 chipsets are a 
considerable improvement over the previous series.

Additionally, VIA has been showing some rather interesting Linux 
awareness, too -- when it turned out ALSA didn't support the new 
VT8233a sound chipset that came on KT333-based boards, VIA took the 
initiative of contacting the ALSA developpers to provide them with the 
specs they needed to make it work. That was just way cool of them.

In short -- VIA sucked, but they seem to suck less of late. That's a 
good thing. I hope it wasn't just me being lucky, but based on reviews 
of KT333 based boards, I think not. :)
