[News] Open BIOS Quicker Than Proprietary BIOS

Boot Linux faster with an open BIOS

,----[ Quote ]
| According to Seebach, the proprietary BIOSes typically found in
| off-the-shelf PCs and boards often account for more than half of total boot
| time. And, much of this time is spent loading drivers and compiling
| information useful to legacy OSes such as DOS, but largely useless and
| redundant when using a modern OS such as Linux, which tends to do its
| own hardware probing, and load its own hardware drivers.
