Intel makes contributions to kernel development and supplies lots of Open Source hardware drivers, far more I think than AMD. The Intel Graphics driver development is manned by Intel people with Intel mailing addresses. They have good Linux platform bring-up support included with retail motherboards and on their web site including methods for updating BIOS that don't require Windows or DOS. Don't get me wrong. I love AMD. I worked for them twice for about 8 years total and they are a great company with great products. I just think Intels back in the lead for the last year or so. I expect AMD will stay in the game, but get ahead I'm not sure.
