Hi all:

Please don't do that. Fedora is awesome, but it's a desktop OS, not a
server OS.
I do not agree with this statement. Fedora is a good choice for
development purposes, both on servers and on clients.

Well, Fedora's short life cycle and update rate imposes more admin work
on both clients and servers, but this doesn't mean the situation is not
manageable.
I would not choose Fedora on install-and-forget client nor server
installations - But if staff can manage the updates/upgrades, I do not
see much reasons for not using Fedora.
The question is how do we know that this hardware (motherboard, CPU)
really support Fedora version 18 or 19? We are looking at mobo from Asus
or Intel or Gigabyte, but did not find firm answer. We did not find the
info from mobo websites either.
Most consumer mainboard manufacturers don't list Linux support.
Most mainstream motherboards work out of the box and do not require any
additional support from board manufacturers. That said, all of the mobos
you mention probably are mostly equal choices.
However, chances are, newer motherboards will require a more modern OS
(Fedora, Ubuntu, openSUSE) and do not work smoothly with gradually
aging/out-dated distros such as CentOS/RHEL/Debian/SLES.
