[Tfug] Linux+ASUS?

[Sean Warburton]

Does anyone have an ASUS motherboard? If so, did it come with Linux drivers?
I recently (3-4 months ago) got a new SLI motherboard (The P5N32-SLI Premium
WiFi-AP edition), and it had Linux drivers for everything (RAID, SLI, audio,
chipset, WiFi, etc.). ASUS must have done this recently, because about a
year ago I got the ASUS P5WD2-E Premium mobo so I could play around with
crossfire. That CD didn't have anything except for 32 and 64 bit XP
drivers. Perhaps open source is really making some headway out there. In
fact, I recall a Maximum PC (or some gaming PC magazine) telling its readers
to NOT go get Vista, and instead had instructions for a basic install of
Ubuntu (because it was the best Linux port out there for noobs). Don't get
me wrong; I respect commisar Gates for starting a business that eventually
started taking over the world, but it will take more than a flashy interface
and how many millions of extra lines of code (I heard numbers from 50-200
million) ON TOP Of XP to impress me. XP still has bugs in it. But I
digress. it's just interesting that ASUS would ship thier motherboards with
linux drivers...
