[ale] Running Linux on SR440BX motherboard system

[Mike Smith]

	I think all those components will work with Redhat but you might want to
look at buying each component separately.  Buying the built in stuff will
keep you from easily upgrading to the next latest and greatest video card or
sound card.  That's my two cents worth.....but I believe all those
components are supported,

Subject: [ale] Running Linux on SR440BX motherboard system



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.
