Re: [Etherboot-developers] Q: LinuxBIOS support?

[Jim M. <ja...@mc...>]

I agree completely with Ken about this.

I've met Ron Minnich and Ollie Lho of the LinuxBIOS project,
and I believe they are working on one of the coolest projects
out there.  If there is a way that Etherboot can be utilized as
part of that solution, then I would certainly like to try to
help that effort.

When I listened to Ron talk about LinuxBios, there was several
times that he mentioned Biederman, and how helpful he was to the
LinuxBios project.  I just now realized that he was
talking about Eric Biederman.

Having a pool of talent containing people like Ken Yap, Marty Connor,
Eric Biederman, Ron Minnich, Ollie Lho, and all the other people
involved in both the Etherboot project and the LinuxBios project
is really almost unbelievable.

I'm looking forward to seeing what comes out of this, and I hope
there is a way that I can contribute.

Thanks,

Jim McQuillan
