Until we hit wifi, that is... and, early on, some ideo chips were messy to get going. Plus, I have 'worked around' about 5 systems that had onboard audio or other onboard chips that weren't Linux friendly. Latest string of newly built Linux systems here, is ECS boards for AMD X2 5600+. The board comes with a CD of ALL drivers for ALL components, in BSD, Linux. I got mine from Ascendtech with the CPU, 1 GB DDR2, 40GB SATA hard drive, built, in the box, as a $199 barebones, that the drive and shipping took to $247. Look for the "EliteGroup GeForce6100SM-M" on pricewatch.com
