Anyone have experience with Ubuntu/Linux on this motherboard:

I would like to know how effective the Asus Express Gate is (Linux boot for simple tasks in 5 seconds) and if this board has any issues with the latest kernel.
Also, the built-in video is Nvidia 8200, and I was curious if nvidia-glx supported this chipset.

Thanks.

P.S. Any offers of opinion on getting the AMD Athlon X2 6000+ as opposed to saving cash and going with a 5000+ for half the price. Is the performance increase really worth it?

Thanks again.
