The LinuxBIOS project pleased with support from Google, because thanks to the search engine you've Primus can improve the quality of the software. The risk of damaging their own hardware should have been drastically reduced. With the aim to create a free BIOS implementation, the project aims to take the last great bastion LinuxBIOS proprietary software. After about six years to run more than a million Systems with free BIOS. Because the software in the project "One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) is used, the developers expect 2007 already around 10 million users.
The LinuxBIOS supported in version 1 motherboards currently 65 manufacturers of 31 and 65 motherboards from 27 manufacturers in version 2 The biggest problem for LinuxBIOS is always the danger posed by small mistakes, because they can make a hardware quite useless. With the help of Google, the developers want to go but have made tremendous progress. A new quality assurance test ensures that each offered BIOS has been tested in automated tests and should run on a defined test environment. Each and every BIOS has been tested so before publication for that hardware. The respective test results are including extensive log data available for download.
