I came to Linuxbios by searching "replace bios" word, and then I found
"OpenBios" home page so, next query was "linux bios" and I quickly found
linuxbios home page. I think if you call it something else, there will
be much less pageviews on the home page, so less people (really
interested in it) would find and and so, less contribution would it
have. I think the word "bios" is the "keyword" and it has to remain in
the name.
