[ubuntu-za] Running Ubuntu 9.10 on a Asus P5Q-EM

[Dr. Johan P. Prinsloo]

Thanks, it seems that on 9.10 it works fine, from the forum link you 
sent me. I've just heard yesterday that apparently setting up that board 
can be a hassle, but I think I'm going to stick with it and sort out 
problems if there are any. Thanks for your input, it helps a lot.
