A list of available motherboards is located at

The only 4-way board is by Newisys, called 'Sobek'. If you go to
www.newisys.com, you'll find they have a machine using this board (4300).
AFAIK, the 4-way machines sold by the likes of Racksaver, Appro etc use
this Newisys design.
Also, which linux distribution would you recommend for a DIY job? My favorite for i32 has been SuSE.
I think you have to pay for Suse 8 on AMD64, but there is also
a Rawhide Redhat (beta) at ftp.redhat.com. Haven't tried it, however.
