Ask Slashdot: Linux on Mobos w/ Integrated Sound & Video.

Steven M. asks: "Does anyone have any experience with using Linux on PC's that have video and sound support built into the motherboard? One board that's caught my eye is the Tiger Micro-ATX Socket 7. That would mean I'd only need to get a floppy and hard drive, memory, and network card to hook it up to my current system, and a case to put them in. Saving a fair amount on my budget by dropping the need to buy seperate video and sound cards. I'm not looking to build a cutting edge system, just something decent on which to connect to the internet, and possibly learn some programming. Would this work? Or am I better off with a bare-bones Motherboard and seperate video and sound cards?" Is there an FAQ on this? I'm not aware of one and this topic would be important to sub-$500 PC crowd.
