RE: [PLUG] Motherboards


-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Hello:

	Most MB's seem to ship with *nix drivers on the CD these days.
I
know that Abit does (since they also sell a distro).

	I would read some reviews and decide what chipset you are going
with.  Then read the reviews of those boards and most will contain a
blurb about Linux support and the driver CD.

How does Linux support new motherboards? When you buy a board it
usually
comes with drivers for ATA, sound, etc. in the windows environment.
How
can I be sure that Linux is utilizing my MB to it's max? Especially
the
IDE.  Are their particular boards to buy? To stay away from?
