I am getting ready to build a new PIII system and looking at Intel's
SR440BX motherboard. Listed below are the highlights and features of
the motherboard. I wanted to know if any one is running Linux on system
with this motherboard. My concern is that the built in video card and
sound card, if they would cause any problem configuring Linux. Any
comment on the moterboard or recomendation will be appreciated.
