[sclug] Motherboard compatibility with Linux

[Ian Park]

Hi all

Prompted by the thread "Motherboard suggestions", I thought I'd try 
picking brains about the compatibility of a motherboard I'm thinking of 
using with Linux Mint. The MB is the Asus Rampage IV Extreme [1], which 
brags about its compatibility with Windows 8. I don't want to commit to 
pretty substantial expense in building a PC based on this MB, only to 
find that it gives me all sorts of grief when I try to install Linux, 
because of UEFI. Can anyone advise on whether it's sensible to go ahead 
with building a PC based on this MB, or indeed whether I would be better 
advised to avoid it in favour of another one?

Thanks in advance for any help.
