Re: [PLUG] Motherboard Compatibility
|
To follow up on and conclude this thread....
I purchased the Intel DQ965GF motherboard. I did some research and it
appeared there were some issues with the newer chipsets like the 956 but I
did want core 2 duo and this was a good choice being an all in one board.
Both Ubuntu and Debian Etch would not work out of the box with this board.
There are workarounds but from what I have seen on the forums there are
many different ideas on what to do to fix the problem(s).
Also in the forums it was stated that Suse 10.2 worked, so I downloaded
the 10.2 DVD and it does in fact install without a hitch and recognizes
all the HW.
In the end I felt that Suse, which I have used and liked for years, seemed
to be the most up to date. Perhaps this is just because it was a later
release. The latest Debian seems pretty recent though and I am
disappointed that the stock package did not support the board.
