 There seems to be a lot of confusion about LinuxBIOS itself in the
 "general public", but also when it comes to comparing LinuxBIOS to similar
 projects and systems, e.g. OpenBIOS, Open Firmware, EFI, GNUFI, uboot,
 etc. etc.

 We should have an easily understandable (for non-techsavvy people) entry
 in the FAQ which outlines what all those projects are about, their goals,
 pros, and cons.
