Just noticed the subject line. Checked out the board on the Asus site. It looks O.K. I'm not sure about the ethernet factor, but 3COM will be able to advise you there, they are very obliging. They've generally got a toll-free number, and ask for 'presales'. I know that they have got downloadable linux drivers onsite, which is probably where Asus got theirs' from. More hardware manufacturers are making Linux drivers now that there is a greater market demand for linux in the corporate market, but the quality of those drivers may not be so hot. That factor will improve with time for exactly the same reason. Why are you going for this particular board? I ask because I'm getting the A7N8X Deluxe in the near future, and it seems like the better board. Regards, David. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
