I haven't yet determined how well the AMD 780 and 790 series work. Anyone with experience to share? I'm a bit distrustful of them becuase, as far as I recall, their linux/x11 drivers weren't so good.<br>
<br>
So maybe this one <a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813188024" target="_blank">http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813188024</a> with a fanless graphics card. <a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127386" target="_blank">http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127386</a> ?<br>

Since it doesn't have embedded video, you can choose whatever video card you want. Beyond that, I can't really think of any feature on the board that wouldn't work with Linux....<br>
<br>If you want, I could boot up a Knoppix cd or something similar and see what it complains about. <br><br>--Darrin<br></div></div><br>
