Subjectbest AMD motherboard for Linux
  Sorry to bother you kernel hackers. I have a simple question.

I am about to buy a new AMD Athlon system and I want to make sure I get
the hardware that works best with Linux. I am wondering whether I
should get a nForce 2 or KT600 based motherboard. Specifically, I am
looking at

Asus A7N8X-X

nForce 2
Realtek ALC650 sound card
Realtek 8201BL network card

and

Gigabyte GA-7VT600-P-L

Northbridge : VIA KT600
Southbridge : VIA VT8237
Realtek ALC655 AC97 sound card
Realtek 8101L NIC


My primary requiremnet is that it must work well with Linux. I can
handle downloading & installing drivers. If it works out of the box
(without downloading binary drivers) that's even better. I am also
planning to get GeForce FX graphics card, if it makes a difference. So
which board is more compatibile?

thanks in advance,

Eugene
