Torvalds on EFI
,----[ Quote ]
| Insightful quote of the day:
|
| Not that Iâd ever claim that the BIOS is wonderful either,
| but at least everybody knows that the BIOS is just a
| bootloader, and doesnât try to make it anything else.
| â Linus Torvalds (in reference to EFI)

The Open Source BIOS is Ten
,----[ Quote ]
| The firmware used to start up the hardware and load the operating system, the
| Basic Input/Output System (BIOS), is fundamental to the operation of a PC. It
| can be one of the major contributors to boot time on a PC. Most PCs use a
| commercial, proprietary BIOS, but steadily, open source firmware is making a
| place for itself. coreboot, previously known as LinuxBIOS, is one of the
| leading BIOS projects and is celebrating its ten year anniversary. Anton
| Borisov, who has researched the economics of open source firmware, talked to
| the developers behind the coreboot BIOS; Ron Minnich, who deals with largest
| supercomputers in the world at Sandia National Labs in California, Stefan
| Reinauer - CEO of coreSystems and Eric Biederman from Linux Networx.
