I don't want to do that. There have been many requests and questions about desktop-style mainbaords which are supported in LinuxBIOS, thus it's a good thing to have a "Desktop" section (even if it's a bit fuzzy).

This is yellow with a footnote eplaining the known issues/problems of the board. Maybe we should change "OK" to "Mostly OK" or something similar (but shorter)? That's the intention of the yellow color -- it works mostly, but some smaller issues remain.
