Hello -

If you Google 'Ubuntu Asus P8H61-M' you will get some useful results, the
first being that it's an EFI board so it will probably only work with a 64
bit distribution although it doesn't seem very promising from that post.
Asus themselves have passed it for Ubuntu 10.10.

If you're putting together a desktop machine it may be better to reverse
the process and find a motherboard that will work with Linux, such as in
the recommended hardware list here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecommendedHardware#Motherboards

My desktop has a Gigabyte motherboard although I would have to nip out to
the garage to find the exact model and it's run 11.10 64 bit with no
problems since October.
