[CS-FSLUG] Switching to linux

[Don Parris]

Are Asus & AOpen two different boards?  I picked my AOpen board with
the P-II 350Mhz back in 2000 because it was (1)one of the best boards
on the market, and (2) had the right gadgets for me (good mix of
PCI/EISA slots).  I've never had a problem with it.
