I would actually want to read a Linux-oriented review of recent motherboards.

While I am an old Linux user and developper, I have hard time finding precise information about recent hardware and Linux, in particular:

Is the hardware (here the A8N 32X motherboard) well supported on Linux (eg Debian/Sid/AMD64 with a recent 2.6.16.x kernel)?

Is the hardware well supported by open-source software (I dislike proprietary drivers)?

Is the hardware provider a well behaving actor within the Linux community (I really want to support linux with my money not going to some hardware corporations reluctant to open source Linux, eg ATI)?

I find increasingly difficult to find reliable information about hardware for open-source Linux (this means that I don't want to install or indirectly support proprietary software, eg drivers).

Thanks for reading
