I don't have a recommendation, but i can disrecommend the NVIDIA nForce2 chipset from a free software perspective. The NIC has a closed source driver. When i emailed them about it, the response was, "Our networking performance is too important to allow competitors to use our drivers." I disabled the on-board NIC and bought a $20 RTL-8139. :-) -- Paul <http://paulgear.webhop.net> -- Did you know? Email addresses can be forged easily.
