I could not find any A-Bit boards...it seems nobody in HK deals with/in 
them anymore or something. However, for the school where I work, The MSI 
K9N Veo3 boards have proven pretty good. If there is any bad experience, 
it was trying to Windows XP to install automatically over the network on 
them with Nvidia raid enabled.

Somebody needs to update/port kiosktool to KDE4 otherwise I will never 
ever be able to get Kubuntu on the school desktops again.
