Hi,
I'm looking at building a new all Linux PC soon, been going through all
my Windows apps and finding Linux equivalents (almost got everything
covered).
I've decided to build the machine to co-incide with the release of 10.3.
I've settled on an Intel core 2 quad CPU, 2+GB RAM 120GB + 500GB SATA2
HD's etc.
Couple of things I've not pinned down, main one is the motherboard, I'm
leaning towards an Asus P5K3 Deluxe as it ticks all the boxes and looks
sufficiently high quality to last.

Although I'm happy that the chipset will be supported I've not found any
info regarding the built in periferals (i.e LAN, Wi-Fi, FireWire etc).
In addition to using the machine as a regular desktop I also want to use
it as part of my hobby recording studio (synth music) and have decided
to take the plunge and use the DAW/studio software Linux has to offer so
a nice quick stable machine is important.
If anyone has an opinion on this mobo I'd be interested in hearing it.
Kindest regards
Matthew
