The conventional way of ensuring that a piece of hardware will work well with 
Linux is to hire a few kernel developers, and ship a hundred samples to other 
kernel developers around the world, with complete hardware specs.  This 
technique is slow and expensive, and still not foolproof.

Alternatively, you could ask for motherboard recommendations on an enthusiast 
forum, which this mailing list is not.  This technique is fast and cheap, but 
still not foolproof.
