Linux drivers for Asus P5B-MX?

I plan on buying a new machine to install/learn linux with, but I'm unsure if there are linux drivers for my motherboard.

I'm thinking of getting the ASUS P5B-MX mATX 946GZ http://www.directcanada.com/products...nufacture=ASUS.

I couldn't find linux chipset/graphics/sound/lan drivers for the motherboard on Asus's website- they only have windows. Does anyone know if there are linux/ubuntu drivers for this motherboard, where to find them, and why they wouldn't be posted on Asus's website?

Thanks.

946GZ chipset is fully supported:

There shouldn't be any problem.

Thanks a lot, now I can go ahead and buy the system.
