I tend to disagree on the statements of most the viewers. I am an integrator for several fortune 500 companies. We use the Intel Juneau JN440BX motherboard. Its an NLX style MB with an ATI Rage PRO (4meg), Crystal audio sound card, and Intel EtherExpress PRO 10/100 card built on. I recently installed Redhat 5.2 on one of these systems and had no difficulties at all.. In fact i was rather impresed at the ease of installation and the overall performance of the board. For $700 with case, floppy, CD, 64mb RAM, HD, and pII 350 i think its a very good value. Plus from an integrators point of view the JN440BX is great because of a set life cycle. The Juneau is worth looking into.
Course you could just view my opinnion as the ramblings of some idiot industrial engineer who is used to working with CompactPCI, VMEbus, ISA/PCI Passive backplanes that have all the components of the PC built onto one expansion card to leave up to 19 slots free for I/O.

Anyway... You be the judge.
