[PLUG] Good Sites for Linux-oriented System Build Guides?


Does anybody have any suggestions on good sites for motherboard/build
reviews that are oriented more to the linux crowd?

I really don't care about video performance or whether a board has 12 or
14 SLI slots.  However, I do care if its SATA controller only works on
bleeding-edge kernels/etc.  I'm generally building things that are more
typical desktops or server configurations.  I care about having room for
more than 2 PCI cards, and less about being "vista ready."

In the past I've found anandtech to be a decent site, but they've gotten
away from integrated build guides, and at best you can pick through 47
individual motherboard reviews which is tedious.

If I want to put together a LAMP box or whatever, where would I start?
