I'm definitely with you on that. Hey, let's get a cheap-ass motherboard, put Coreboot in the flash bios chip, put GRUB on Coreboot, and put Ubuntu on a hard drive!

EFI has a network stack.
I wouldn't trust it, not to be backdoored.

What I want to see soon is a perfectly smooth transition from the Linux Bios (Coreboot) to the Linux desktop. Now that mode setting is in the kernel this should be possible should it not? Then it twill be all perdy like the Macs. :P

Vista is only 1K in size and is the best OS evar, Bill told me so. And soon Jerry Seinfeld will tell me as well...even though he used a Mac in all his episodes.

An obvious use is to put in mosix or something,
and use it as a compute/ram node.
That's the first thing I thought directly:
compute cluster in a can ;)

Actually, LinuxBIOS was developed by LANL (Los Alamos National Laboratory) and used on clusters.
