In summary, the speaker recently purchased a new system with an AMD Athlon 3200+ 64 processor and an ASUS A8N-VM-UAYGZ motherboard. However, they encountered difficulties when trying to install various Linux distributions, including RedHat, Fedora, Gentoo, and Ubuntu. These attempts led to crashes and loss of documents. They are unsure of the problem and have contacted technical support. The speaker is also looking for suggestions for a motherboard that supports Linux and heavy games like Doom3.
