I bought an inexpensive integrated motherboard, with the intent of making a station to run KDE on. I eventually passed the system over to my wife, and she runs W98 on it. Seems like the chipsets that cheap board manufactures are likely to use, very rarely have good open source driver support. The little guys are all trying to eat each others lunch, and legalese is one way to keep what advantages they have. Exceptions would be some of the Intergraph systems, the old HP Vectras, and the dual processor Intel motherboards. In each case, they went with fairly good integrated parts.
