The goal here is to get to the point where vendors take on the 
responsibility for their own mainboards. I personally want out of this 
business of doing ports, I have a day job :-) The vendors should be able 
to do a good job with this, and our work would be assistance and testing.

So the mainboards on the list are proof-of-concept, and we hope vendors 
will pick up on this. 

Note that Tyan is in fact a contributor, and they are offering linuxbios 
on several of their new K8 mainboards. You can ask for it with a 
mainboard. 

I need to add a 'vendor-supplied linuxbios' web page.
