Hi Gurus,
I am planning to buy a Intel Q6600 shortly. I want a linux compatible motherboard which is cheap and value for money(VFM).
* Some folks in my place suggest 'XFX nForce 650i Ultra ' . Though it works well for Windows, I want the comaptibility of this Mother board with Linux. I can load latest Linux-kernel.
* Also suggest me which installation Linux-version Fedora-{6,7},Ubuntu,Suse,etc is smooth and OK.
* Or if you have any other option on motherboards(which are powerful , yet VFM, please let me know.
* Any other suggestions for Graphics cards(though Iam not hardcore games player), SATA/PATA drivess(and related driver problems for Linux), Sound-cards(if not integrated in MB) are heartily welcome
I am planning to use above machine for java-server-development/J2EE-server+DB, benchmarking Tomcat/Jetty/Glashfish/etc and also for trying Soalris 10.
thanks in advace
