Hi all,
I hope to buy a motherboard to start playing around with Linuxbios somewhere in the near future. I have no job, so I have to get that sorted first, but after that...
Here is my wish-list: Micro ATX format or smaller. I think I already have ny fair share of bit bulky ATX computers and want to keep the physical size down on future machines. I'm a gentoo guy, so I want decent cpu power. This rules out Epia and Geode I think. Unsupported (well, there are no microatx boards in the supported list so that shouldn't be a problem), but with a chipset that may be reasonably similar to something already supported. Available in the shops, still being produced.
As it seems, my best bets would be a K8M800/890 based card or some of the NVidia chipsets with integrated vga. Is any of those reasonably similar to already supported designs like the MCP55 or VT8263?
Does it seem like a plausible idea? I have some coding skills, but they are rather basic. I suppose the main reason I'd want to do this is because I think it would be a good thing to have support for that kind of board, as they tend to be inexpensive, and that could tempt more people to give LB a try.
