Welcome to the list, as well. I've come to appreciate the long-time stability on RHEL, coming from windows and some fedoras/other distros.

Yupp, Standard Operating Procedure. 8-) Speaking of the Redhat-HCL, is the certified hardware db on RHN intentionally not so extensive? I looked for some Asus-motherboards but nothing was listed to be either certified or compatible, in fact I did not find anything Asus. Am I maybe looking from the wrong end, and should really be looking for chipsets instead of motherboard brands and preferrably whole systems instead of single components?
