John, One school of thought says the most stable Linux platform is the one Linus uses himself. I don't recall exactly how/where to look, but I'm told that info is embedded in the official stock release tarballs. I've had good luck with Abit, ASUS, and Tyan. My current favorite is Tyan's S2468 dual Athlon superboard. The latest model number is S2469 with dual on-board Ultra-320 SCSI host adapters and the ability to support a very neat Adaptec 64-bit PCI board that makes one of those a full hardware RAID channel. The only real "gotcha" about dual Athlon motherboards like the S2468/S2469 is that many require a special ATXGES power supply with a 24-pin connector.
