The conventional way of ensuring that a piece of hardware will work well with Linux is to hire a few kernel developers, and ship a hundred samples to other kernel developers around the world, with complete hardware specs. This technique is slow and expensive, and still not foolproof.
Alternatively, you could ask for motherboard recommendations on an enthusiast forum, which this mailing list is not. This technique is fast and cheap, but still not foolproof.
