Hi again,
I ordered a computer with an ASUS CUV4x VIA 694X motherboard (having
got good references froma few sources, including LINUX-IL). I got a
phone call from the shop an hour ago, they say that the board is no
longer manufactured (at least not with an ISA slot, which, according
to them, my sound card needs). Are they BS-ing me? I don't really
think so, but there is no harm in double-checking.
As a replacement, they suggest a Gygabyte GA-6VXC7-4X board

A net search seems to indicate that the board is OK with linux, but
can anyone knowledgeable comment on its quality? Also, can anyone
comment on the FAQ,

(I don't own an HP scanner)?
Thanks in advance.
A few people asked me to summarize the responses I got. I will
certainly do it, but I'd like to wait until I have the system up
and running.
