8.04 and 8.10 have worked well with both integrated Ati graphics and X1800 GTO which replcaed 6800 GT I had. I have had no problems with either brand. nVidia being Linux friendly is soon a myth, thanks to nVidia closed drivers vs. Ati open community drivers for linux. In that case the ECS A780GM-A ...

Linux build for daughter
I am looking for a good motherboard (with onboard video) or motherboard/video card combo for an EdUbuntu build for my daughter, so it doesn't need to be a screamer. I already have an Antec Sonata Designer 500 case so I am can use either ATX or mAtx and would like to keep the price down, but want rel...

Linux AM2 mAtx motherboard selection.
Which low cost, integrated video mAtx motherboard for Ubuntu linux?
ASUS M2NPV-VM
Most expensive option.
Gigabyte GA-MA69VM-S2
ATI is not as well supported as nvidia in Linux.
PC Chips PC CHIPS A13G+
No user review stating that it works with linux, but based on chipset it should work.

How much is enough and how to judge that before ordering? I'm trying to find the best L775 motherboard for use with a Ninja and quite possibly an HR-03 would have to fit as well, so space is needed on both sides of the CPU socket (and the chipset heatsink can't be too tall either). For the ninja yo...

What motherboard is in your Antec NSK-3480/3300?
Looking to build on the Antec NSK-3480 and looking for a passive, inexpensive motherboard. I prefer AMD, but any processor new or old will be sufficient.
Thanks,
Don V.

While the layout is the same, the p150 has a steardier construction (1mm steel vs 0.8) and the capability of suspending your hdd`s without modification. The nsk4480 is still a perfectly decent case but given your history I would recommend the p150 :) Yep, looks like it will be the P150 (Sonata Desi...

can you compare the silicon mounting with the rubber and elastic now that you tried all? I didn't use the rubber suspension system because of all the posts with dropped hard drives, so I installed using the silicon grommets. Since the silicon grommets have been very quiet I haven't felt any need to...

This build went really well. The hardest part was installing the Scythe Ninja. All the parts worked seemlessly without tweeking and I am running Ubuntu Linux.

Scythe Ninja Installation - too close?
I am installing the Scythe Ninja Revision B on the ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe motherboard. There is only a couple mm clearance between the copper pipe on the Ninja and one of the capacitors (? small cylindrical thing). Does anyone know if this will cause a problem?
Thanks
Thanks
