Careful on the ASUS MB. I love ASUS boards but if it has the NForce2
chipset you'll have issues getting it up and running on pre 2.4.20
kernels and 2.4.20 kernels that don't have some of the 2.4.21 pre-5
patches. I'm waiting for my Mandrake 9.1 CDs since they are suppose to
have resolved the NForce2 problems with 9.1. I could get all the parts
and build my own kernel, but I'm limping along now, and the downloads
are huge, so I'll wait.
