The real point is that ASUS support staff is openly hostile to Linux users who require and attempt to get support (e.g., RMA for defective product) from ASUS. So, the choices are all others until such time as it gets documented which if any of the others take a similar attitude to ASUS. http://www.mozillaquest.com/Linux04/Asus_Sucks_Story-01.html My most recent success with motherboard tech support was with Biostar. I purchased a several years old M7NCD http://www.biostar-usa.com/mbdetails.asp?model=m7ncd new in box from an online vendor last fall. 7 months later it died as a consequence of a power supply failure. I emailed tech support. They emailed me an RMA authorization back. No stupid questions about what OS was installed. Board was replaced with new in box complete with manual and accessories M7NCD Ultra http://www.biostar-usa.com/mbdetails.asp?model=M7NCD%20ULTRA . This system using this board has about 8 operating systems installed, including 10.2 and 10.3Beta2. ASUS' stupid web site is reason enough to avoid ASUS. I just tried to get a BIOS update there yesterday. Finding the P5A-B BIOS was easy, but finding on site the required update tool to install it was impossible. I was lucky enough to guess one I already downloaded for a P5S-B many years ago would be compatible. -- "It yet remains a problem to be solved in human affairs, whether any free government can be permanent, where the public worship of God, and the support of religion, constitute no part of the policy or duty of the state in any assignable shape."
