<DIV>I think the nice thing about linuxbios is the flexibility it
provides. You're not limited by what the mainboard manufacturer gives you
and can be more creative. With a video chip, you can have accelerated video 2
seconds after the system boots like, say, the xbox. This is on a regular
off-the-shelf motherboard. I've been working for the past few weeks on my
epia M 10000 motherboard to do some nice things with the video
subsystem in the BIOS. It's been great so far and the folks on the message board
have done a fantastic job answering questions. I couldn't have gotten
anywhere with a closed source BIOS. </DIV>
