For desktop, the Intel mobos, the D945* series, should be well supported by the latest Linux distros. For desktops: I installed Fedora Core 5 on a D945GTP mobo and all devices were detected out of the box. The mobo has integrated graphics which is well supported by the Xorg drivers including 3D acceleration. It has socket 775 and supports Celeron to Dual Core. My system has 2.66GHz dual core with 512MB RAM (32MB for video). IMO, this is a darn good board for functionality/price combo. I recommend it for a desktop roll out. For notebooks: OpenSuSE 10.1 installed flawlessly on a Toshiba Satellite M105-S3041 notebook - detected all hardware including WiFi b/g. On the other hand, I have not been able to get WiFI and 3D accel to work on a Compaq V2000 series notebook (AMD Sempron 3000+, WiFi is Broadcom chip and Video is ATI 200M).
