Wow Roy... just last week or so I was complaining that linuxbios wasn't
being shipped or supported well on desktop motherboards... Now you post
this link. Still not shipped pre-installed, but holy cow... it's a damn
good begining.
As we speak I'm buying one now... And as usual... thank you for the post. I
probably would never have seen it or read about it till weeks later.
