I'd look for a motherboard with an integrated graphics chip with good Linux
support.  If you're not doing 3D or gaming there's no reason to pay for a
separate video card.

I've had good experiences with the Intel GMA 950, which you can find
integrated into lots of motherboards.  For example, picking one at random
from a manufacturer I've used:

If you don't mind binary drivers practically anything you can buy new from
ATI or Nvidia should also work fine.  I'd avoid that path though, if I were
you.
