Randy, You're just being silly now. You know as well as many others, there have been long standing problems with Asus motherboards and Linux. Not just new, bleeding edge types but older, should be supported types as well. There have been articles about the attitude of Asus towards Linux and their lack of support or offer of help to resolve a problem with their hardware. Just because you might own one doesn't make it good, just that you made the same mistake many other people did in their decision making process for buying hardware. He doesn't have to discard his hardware purchase because of a few problems, that seems very illogical on your part to mention that, but he will have to live with the problems associated with his decision in choosing bad hardware to use with Linux. bye, Lee --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
