Well, you'd have to define "compatible", I guess. The chipset has to be
supported by the kernel. Most are. If it has any onboard components, like
video or sound, those need to have compatible drivers. I haven't found it
hard to find mobos when I've been shopping for them. Are you looking for
something that has a "Linx compatible" stamp on it someplace?
