In-Depth Look At LinuxBIOS

DrSkwid writes "With PhoenixBIOS reading your email because of such inordinate boot up times for Windows and other OSs, it was remarked in #plan9 about our 5s boot times using LinuxBIOS. My friend f2f pasted an article from Linux Journal which looks at the basic structure of LinuxBIOS, the origins of LinuxBIOS and how it evolved to its current state. It also covers the platforms supported and the lessons they have learned about trying to marry a GPL project to some of the lowest-level, most heavily guarded secrets that vendors possess."

How can I flash my AwardBIos to run this?

Ok, first why should I switch from the current BIOS I have to this one, make the case. Saying the word Linux is not making the case and neither is saying Open source. Is it better technology? Second, ok say I want to do this, how do I go about doing it? That site needs better instructions, it needs to explain the technology better. Simply put, their website SUCKS.

It sounds like a good idea but how does it work in practice? How about pictures? Benchmarks, test results.
