Motherboard experiance

[Harry G]

I would like to know if anyone has any fairly recent experience with 
the following motherboards with Linux:

Biostar M7KQ 

PC Chips 817 LR

ECS K7SEM

Amptron SUS735

Or any related units?  I am about to embark on a new adventure:  
Building a box from scratch, and really don't need any additional 
"challenges", so to speak.

Or if there are any other brands you would recommend or warn me about?

TIA
