[TriLUG] Which intrex 64 bit processor boards supports linux the best

[John Franklin]

I picked up a K8N Neo2 Platinum (nforce based, AMD 939 board) a few
months ago.  Runs great, dual GigE ports, four SATA plus the standard
two IDE, and so many USB ports you may not need a USB hub anymore.  The
only problem I've had with it is Linux doesn't always like to recognize
my USB Logitech keyboard (and older Internet Navigator.)  Came with a
free beta copy of XP 64-bit edition (which can't run keyhole :( ).  All
32-bit OSes run just fine on it.  Win2k, Linux x86 (currently running.)
Yes, I know there is a 64-bit version of Fedora Core, but some apps I
have aren't easily available as pre-built 64-bit RPMs, and I didn't feel
like rebuilding some of them.  You can have 32-bit and 64-bit libraries
lying about, but at that point, why not just run 32-bit Linux?
