*I* don't want Vista on my LinuxBIOS machine. *Dell* would. I ran the Vista betas for a while. I wasn't impressed, and haven't rushed out to purchase it yet. LinuxBIOS already runs on a handful of embedded mainboards, etc, look up the LinuTop for one example, and there are more in the wiki. -Corey -- linuxbios mailing list linuxbios@linuxbios.org http://www.linuxbios.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
