    from this list https://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Motherboards
    and Board supported by flashrom (YES)
    which is the best hardware vendor listed in terms of quality-price?
    what are the Unix/Unix-like/Linux friendly vendors?

    any good site for "hot-deals"?

    Thank you!

    1st of the all, choose hw for price, you can afford. Then google about possible troubles. Actually, the most hw has run quite good w/ lnx (i.e. linux). for unix, you need to be more specific (solaris 777).

    can you recommend 2-3 top brands that use Linux?

    Thanks!

    phakt, here is example == http://linuxlookup.com/review/asus_z87_pro_motherboard_review i think that website will provide you any ans 4 ur prays ;D + keep in mind, distro can change ur experience in hell€¥ w@¥$..

    1. 1st of the all, try openSuSE/SuSE == 4 most cases, this beast runs out-of-box quite smoothly.. not ideal though, but it's a way better than debian debian-like ones.
    2. rhl as good as (open)SuSE, but it takes money for "support". alt choices == Oracle Linux, CentOS, Scientific Linux. Cons: they have poor repos, thus a lot of stuff you will need to build from sources.
    3. debian: the only plus of this $hit -- it has good repos.
    +++
    the very unfortunate side of lnx: even if hw runs w/ no problem, the its features in most cases have been $hindow$-based.

    what about good hardware for optimum perfomance on Unix-like OS such as BSD derivates?

    have you read "The Unix Hardware Buyer HOWTO"?
    what is the best hardware for Unix/BSD/Linux?

    Thanks!

    heh, man, sado-mazo ain't good idea 4 hacking :grin: i like bsd's, but to install it on bare-metal will kick u into ₫€€π $hit.. if u really need/want it that bad == use VM's.
