A private messenger chided me for discussing non-free S/W, but that's the
point that lembas addresses above: there _is_ a Trisquel package to perform
the task of upgrading BIOS without having to resort to *indows. I was worried
because the much-praised Intel site doesn't mention any support for linux in
regard to BIOS updates.
And yes, there's nothing untoward going in with my Trisquel's handling or
adaptability to the hardware; in fact, I swapped out the motherboard and the
process was 100% transparent - no modifications at all required by Trisquel
to handle the change. I did do a sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get
upgrade right afterwards and received quite a lot of new material that was
duly shoe-horned into place, all hassle-free. So I presently see no reason to
contemplate doing a BIOS upgrade just to show off.
Thanks are due to all who support this fine Trisquel operating system.
