One piece of data missing from the linuxbios status page (listing of compatible motherboards), is a "recommended motherboards" section to use with linuxbios.
It seems that some features of motherboards do not work fully currently (ie vga, etc), and this data does not look to be fully documented on the status page.
Basically, I'm planning on building a box for my parents to use explicitly for email/web (rather then relying windowsxp virus prone o/s).
I want to stick with the Intel cpu, however, per your recommendation, I will sway to amd (although i currently have all intel cpu's with source already complied for intel x86).
To make it simple, should i just buy a (intel) mobo from cwlinux?
