[GRLUG] shopping for linux-compatible hardware

[eric at erichartwell.net]

its not about asus boards, but their blatant "windows is best" claims right on their home page. This is from a company who makes a linux netbook then says eepc is better with winders. 

our advocate tends to show more when companies say those things.

Did you send anything to ASUS about
this?  

10 years ago or so ASUS wasnt making
any motherboards for AMD processors.
Just Intel.  

What kinds of things have you encountered
when installing Linux on ASUS boards?
