Hi all,
I'm trying to build up a PVR (Personal Video Recorder) using LinuxBIOS
because of it's fast startup time and because I'm interested in playing
around with this on-the-edge matter.
I spent hours on the net trying to find a suitable motherboard. To be
serious: I found not even one that seems

All recent Linu
I am also building a PVR solution and am hoping LinuxBIOS will help the
startup time (and be a neat project).
