Aug 20, 2008 - now show me Vista doing that!

Yfrwlf Says:

Aug 31, 2008 - Vista is only 1K in size and is the best OS evar, Bill told me so. And soon Jerry Seinfeld will tell me as well...even though he used a Mac in all his episodes.

Yfrwlf Says:

Aug 31, 2008 - What I want to see soon is a perfectly smooth transition from the Linux Bios (Coreboot) to the Linux desktop. Now that mode setting is in the kernel this should be possible should it not? Then it twill be all perdy like the Macs. :P

Sep 5, 2008 - He's got a point there. but on the other hand.its open source. why not modify it urself :)

Oct 30, 2008 - EFI has a network stack.I wouldn't trust it, not to be backdoored.

Frap357 Says:

Oct 30, 2008 - Actually, LinuxBIOS was developed by LANL (Los Alamos National Laboratory) and used on clusters.

Nov 7, 2008 - bloody AMAZING, i want one :D

Keruaran Says:

Nov 11, 2008 - EFI is bad mmkay...

flaming0nerd Says:

Nov 29, 2008 - I'm definitely with you on that. Hey, let's get a cheap-ass motherboard, put Coreboot in the flash bios chip, put GRUB on Coreboot, and put Ubuntu on a hard drive!

Dec 23, 2008 - EFI is not bad. WTF are you talking about. PCs will eventually go to that. Bios = SLOW, EFI = Fast. Not to mention in EFI you don't have to set your boot order. Boot from CD? Just hold down C during boot.

Keruaran Says:

Dec 23, 2008 - As Frap357 correctly pointed out, EFI implements a full network stack. It can be backdoored. I never said anything good about the ancient average BIOS that most PC's have.Coreboot is the way to go. Its totally open, configurable, simpler, lets you only install what you want. And it can dump RAM on shutdown, which is very nice for security reasons.

Keruaran Says:

Dec 23, 2008 - lol I think your comment went straight over the heads of a few not-too-bright types

UbuntuLee Says:

Dec 23, 2008 - So what if it has a network stack. We already have wake from LAN and boot from LAN. Thats just as bad or even worse. And I'm sure the EFI way of doing things is protected. The creators of EFI would not leave it wide open like that.

Keruaran Says:

Dec 23, 2008 - Trust me, banks wont touch it. And neither will our clients (some are Accounting firms and Law firms).

UbuntuLee Says:

Dec 23, 2008 - Well in about 5 years they are gonna panic. By then PCs will be using it.

Keruaran Says:

Dec 23, 2008 - Banks and other security conscious clients will not roll out systems with an EFI BIOS. Its an unacceptable security risk. Its that simple.A law firm that is one of our clients are already using Coreboot.

UbuntuLee Says:

Dec 23, 2008 - I'm sure it will be safer by then.

supercarzcouk Says:

Jan 7, 2009 - First show me ubuntu doing that, dumbass.Although you make a valid point, Linux is flexible which makes it great for things like this. If this thing could immediately be able to use network hardware and have a web browser it would be truly awesome, but I guess there are size constraints, lol.

supercarzcouk Says:

Jan 7, 2009 - @me is this possible using a usb flash drive?
