I did a little search online, and I got the impression that VIA is an
Open Source chipset, that is all I could come across. All I'm asking is
for maximum linux compatability, which hardware manufacturers &/or
chipsets should I look for, and which should I avoid?
And thanks Gary, I will give Ubantu a try

Mark & all,
I will be buying a new, super computer, custom of course. I want as
much computability with Linux as possible, as it will be my main Linux
box. I'm planning on buying most my parts on newegg.com I do not know
which manufacturers provide O.S. drivers, could you please help me out.
I will be purchasing the following:
motherboard (64 bit AMD)
ram
processor (AMD 64, socket 939)
cd/dvd burner
video card
hard drive (Seagate was my plan)
I currently use Mandrake 10 (now known as Mandriva) and will also be
trying Ubuntu &/or Gentoo <------ just an FYI.
Hi Jeff,
I use Ubuntu and, IMO, it just plain rocks. Not too big, works great
with my hardware, and was easily as expandable as I wanted it to be
after install. They have some really good support information on the
site for newbies like myself. Great stuff- I highly recommend it.
Best regards,
-Gary
