I went to the local Fry's Electronics and the ASUS seems like a good buy. I have not used an AMD before so don't have much experience. Even if I go with a KV7 as you suggested, I still would like to know if Debian would work on it. The hit/miss is tough proposition. By the time I spend on CPU+DDR Mem+MoBo, it is an expensive project.
