I hope lots of people stop by to say hello and have fun. I haven't a clue. I haven't made any plans yet. If you want a motherboard for playing with linuxBIOS I'd recommend one based on either the SiS630 or the SiS730 chipset. The chipsets are well supported in linuxBIOS currently, and motherboard based on them should be relatively inexpensive. I'm currently working with the AMD760MP chipset but it will be a little while until the linuxBIOS support is solid. > I'll be interested to know what sort of machine and motherboard I should > get to do an effective demo.

My concern was getting something clean and running. I have an eepro100 plug into the mainboard, and am using that instead of the onboard 3COM nic at the moment. > So now Etherboot can run from floppy, ROM, LILO, SYSLINUX, PXE ROMs, DOS, > and some BIOSes.
