Motherboard Recommendations, and a hello...

[Gary Kaufman]

I've been lurking for a few weeks now, and figured it
was time to surface.  I've enjoyed reading the posting
for this group after meeting a few of you at
Hosstrader's last fall.

I'm an old computer person, and still have working
systems that run RT-11 and CP/M among others.  

I'm a relatively new Linux user - I currently run
IPCOP with Copfilter on a home gateway and Ubuntu on
my wife's system.  I've also played with Linux on a
Linksys NSLU2 which I use for MT-DAAPD.

I'm starting to plan a new system for myself, probably
based on Intel Core 2 Duo.  I'm ready to attempt the
Linux-leap for myself as well.  I was wondering what
folks might recommend for motherboards.  I've had
great experiences with ASUS, but the reports I've seen
on the web for Ubuntu and the ASUS P5B Deluxe have
been mixed.  On-board graphics would be fine as my
needs are very modest.

Thanks for any thoughts!
