pete.morgan
Guys I am new to the linux O/S (years of working with, and becoming an expert at Windows), so after a bit of investigation I choose Suse8. 2 as my starting point.

Motherboard Recommendations

LameDuck
Whats every one recommend for an extremely stable board? I'm having trouble finding any good reviews. One review says this board is good and another says it sucks. I just want a very stable board for my AMD 2500 chip.
