Need mobo for Linux

[Zebo]

Need a mobo with on-board video that supports linux. skt 754.. just fully supported.

I'm building Beowulf cluster of Linux machines runing Rocks cluster. These machine will strictly be used as a slave mode. After initial configuration, it won't even have a keyboard or monitor connected to it. Strictly number crunching with custom modeling software. Starting with 8 slaves and master which I already have would like 30-40 after I see results. At $500 a pop it's a bargain compared dualing/opteroning cluster.

Anyway heres what I have so far
8-A643000 skt 754 retail boxed $140
8- I-STAR 2U Rackmount Server Chassis (Black) With I-Star 350W PSU -$197
8- Crucail PC3200 256 MB ram $36
8- SAMSUNG 40GB 7200RPM $45
*8 - skt 754 mobo with on-board video and network????

Any ideas for full Linux support?

Pretty much all the mobos are compatible with linux, drivers are nto as much as an issue now, except for video cards and performaces. THere is a big hit on performace with gamming in linux.. but for everything else.. ti rocks and its free!! Linux rocks man.

What distributino of linux you goign to use and what is this machien for??

I tried Linux, and failed miserably... (gentoo). BUT I would say that in general, the Linux support is better than windows64, so your odds of it working are pretty good.
