In the following page ,

http://www.asus.com/ContentPage.aspx?Content_Type=staticwebpage&Global=1&Content_Id=26

there is a link :

http://www.asus.com/websites/global/aboutasus/OS/Linux.pdf


In the Linux.pdf , there is a list of ASUS main boards tested and listed for
Linux compatibility .

Unfortunately , I do not know any FreeBSD related list which contains latest
available boards tested for FreeBSD .


At least , the above list gives an idea about possible board selections .


Thank you very much .
