[MLUG] Athlon motherboards

[Aaron Littich <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

I have a k7s5a motherboard from ECS.  I want to get rid of the fsckin
thing, it ticks me off immensely.  I was wondering if anyone here has any
recommendations for athlon motherboards, mainly whether they are fully
supported under linux and are stable. I'm looking for something fairly
cheap, and it doesn't have to have raid. 

This k7s5a board will run linux, but the problem with it is that whenever
i change *any* hardware in/out, i have to clear the flash memory.  This
includes plugging/unplugging a hard drive/cdrom/pci network card/sound
card/SCSI card.  And it doesn't just clear within 5 or 10 seconds, it
takes 10 MINUTES or more.  It's not a bad battery, its just a quirky
motherboard.  And this is not an isolated problem, if you look at the
forums on ecs's website, you'll see alot of people with the same problem.

Other than the flash bios deal, the motherboard runs very well.  I've
gotten everything to work, except for the onboard functions (which are
shit anyways) in linux.  

sorry for rant
