Hi,
I am interested in this project as a home user who does leave his
computer running, and would like a fast startup time !! (And a nicer
splash then the BIOS screen would be nice to !!).
>From what I can see the project is mainly orientated to servers or
embedded systems, but I wonder if my board may work ? The website is a
little vague on supported boards (out of date ?) so I have answered
the questions from one of the FAQ entries below.
Thanks for any pointers, Simon
