Hi all.

My PC finally died. The hardware who has his shop accross the road is
offering this mother board :-

http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P8H61M_LX3_PLUS/

More precisely, ver 3 of the board.

Any feedback on that board?

I run debian _experimental_ updated about 3/ 4 weeks back and have simply
swapped hard disks in situations like this. (No reinstall)

What has me worried is the UEFI gobbledygook in the features of the board.

I have no need for other OSes, and have only one kernel installed.

Since the nouveau drivers are already installed, and the initramfs image
includes drivers for "most" devices, I hope that  the existing Os on the
disk will work straightaway.

Am I correct here?

What about UEFI?

Anything else I need to know here?

Apologies about formatting ; I am posting from the mobile.

TIA,

Mahesh
