I wrote: > * The first-generation Core series chips ... Actually, come to think of it, I need to clarify terms further: we're actually in the second generation of the Core "i" series. There have now been *3* generations of chips labeled Core, using sockets 775 (Core 2), 1156 (first-gen Core i3/i5) and now 1155 (second-gen Core i5). The 1156 and 775 motherboards are now obsolete; look for 1155 unless you have need for compatibility with old components. Compatible releases; you'll need to check for kernel 2.6.37: * Ubuntu 11.04 is due out in 3 days; * Fedora 15 is due out in 29 days (beta out now probably works); * OpenSUSE 11.4 came out on 10-Mar I doubt the "enterprise" distros will catch up any time soon. Oracle Enterprise Linux (free download) distro is already at RHEL 6.0 but the kernel is a moldy 2.6.32. Mandriva, Linux Mint, CentOS all have catching up to do. -rich
