To quote from the article "Currently two different interest groups are working on LinuxBIOS: one working on embedded systems and one building large-scale computer clusters. For these applications the legacy x86 firmware is suboptimal." Yes, this was a slashdot story in March this year but this article is relevant for updating the project status and for providing indepth information."

    Moving like a sleek penguin under arctic ice? I'm thinking brave but lost and alone, thousands of miles from his home at the Antipodes, almost certain to starve...is there anything we can do to help? A walkathon? A benefit concert? A herring?

    Well, if it's "moving like a sleek penguin under arctic ice", it isn't going anywhere, there are no penguins in the Arctic, they are all Antarctic residents. :)
