I am currently building a system for my wife. I'm new to Ubuntu, and this will be her first Ubuntu (or any Linux distro, for that matter) PC. Additionally, it will be my first "Built for Ubuntu" machine. I've got several motherboards selected, and am soliciting any comments/advise about them.
I have had good experience with Gigabyte, Abit, and Asus, but have never used MSI or Biostar. Any comments or advise about the compatibility of these boards would be greatly appreciated. Since this is for my wife, I'd like to have as stable a system as possible. She's finally decided to take the Linux plunge, and I'd like it be a pleasant experience for her so she doesn't decide to go back to Windows.
Gigabyte:
M57SLI-S4
MA770-S3 (or MA770-DS3)
Abit:
AN52V
Asus:
M2N-SLI
MSI
K9A2 CF-F
Biostar
A770 A2+
