Hi André.
Many many thanks for your information. Wow. We are looking at implementing a software for the MeeGo netbook. Security is crucial. From what I understand, I am treading on new territory. MeeGo is not a true linux system. It has some interesting security management functionality. Thanks again for the two links. ------------------ Regards Leslie --- On Tue, 11/16/10, Andre Courchesne <[email protected]> wrote: From: Andre Courchesne <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [MLUG] Reading/writing Netbook bios To: "Montreal Linux Users Group" <[email protected]> Date: Tuesday, November 16, 2010, 9:35 PM Hi, This is called the DMI/SMBIOS OEM tags.
