I am getting ready to build a dual Pentium III system which will run various versions of LINUX 24/7.  The primary purpose of this machine, at least initially, will be to conduct an in-depth study of LINUX internals.

  The ABIT VP6 motherboard looks like a good candidate for me, but I have serious concerns over the VIA Apollo Pro 133A chipset.  Several articles I've read indicate that this chipset does not support LINUX very well.  I would like to hear about the experiences (good or bad) of anyone who has run LINUX on this VIA chipset.

  The Intel 815 chipset seems to be my ideal choice, but I'm having trouble locating a motherboard with i815 and dual Pentium III support.  Does anyone know of such a board?
