[brlug-general] Soyo SY-KT333 Dragon Ultra

[Cleve Allison]

Forgot to mention another interesting point about this motherboard......it does not have parallel or serial ports for mouse, modem or keyboard, its a usb 1.1 , usb 2.0 and firewire system so if I decide to buy it I will also have to purchase a usb 1.1 keyboard and mouse.  I have never installed any flavor of Linux on a system that used a usb mouse and keyboard.
Thanks.

  I'm thinking about buying a Soyo SY-KT333 Dragon Ultra motherboard and a AMD
  1900+ XP and 512 MB of DDR333 or PC2700 ram.

  Does anyone have any thoughts on what my chances of having a smooth Linux
  installation will be with all the built-in features of this motherboard such
  as built-in networking, sound, usb 2.0, etc.  I don't want to even buy it if
  I can only use it for Windows.  I am currently using Mandrake and Redhat at
  home but want to try Suse as well.

  Thanks in advance for any insight you are able to off
