LinuxBIOS Gains Steam

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."

d.d.s., that's the same thought I had when I read the submission. Furthermore, how far under the ice is this poor lost penguin? If he's a long way from the nearest patch of open sea, I'm worried that he might drown! In conclusion, this only lends credence to the old rumor...

Linux is dying.

Well, to me "sleek penguin" seems an oxymoron; being fat is a survival trait for a bird that swims in ice fields.

The other thing I can think of is that "under arctic ice" (or antarctic ice, as the case may be) would be a place where no one could tell, and I might say that if I had really no clue as to how the project was actually doing. I think that the submitter should really learn some new similes, because his current ones just aren't doing the job.
