It's encouraging to see a motherboard maker going in this
direction, though I think this early version will be much
improved after some refinements like LinuxBIOS (currently, the
vaunted 5 second bootup comes *after* the POST has completed)
and a suite of tools that allow you to easily inflict your own
kernel.  And it's fairly expensive.  Still, it's sorta cool...
