Which brand would be most troublefree multiproc motherboard for use with Linux?

[The little lost angel]

As per topic, which brand (i.e. Tyan, Supermicro etc) would usually be
the most troublefree dual or quad motherboard (either P4 Xeon or
Opteron) to use in a Linux setup? Thanks!

If you need basic to med complexity webpages at affordable rates, email me
Standard HTML, SHTML, MySQL + PHP or ASP, Javascript.
If you really want, FrontPage & DreamWeaver too.
But keep in mind you pay extra bandwidth for their bloated code

I have built six systems so far using the Tyan S2885.
Five of the people I have built them for are firmly in
the Windows camp, but one uses Linux - several kinds -
and thinks the S2885 is the greatest thing since canned
beer.

For many users, the only downside to that board is that
the USB ports are all version 1.1 - so you would probably
want to install a card with USB 2.0 ports if you intend
to use things like USB printers, scanners, hard drives, etc.
