"The GIGABYTE M57SLI-S4 is the first-ever desktop motherboard supported by a Free & Open Source BIOS, thanks to AMD engineer Yinghai Lu who released GPL-licensed code last month. This state-of-the-art motherboard is based on the NVIDIA nForce 570 SLI chipset and AMD's latest Socket AM2." I am not exactly a Free Software evangelist, but I am a strong proponent of open BIOS, for various reasons. Good thing, this.

1. Do I have to install LinuxBIOS or it is pre-installed?
2. The article/post says "we can now fix the BIOS ourselves." but it can be done only if specs for HW are released.Am I right?
I cheat . 3. Can FreeBSD/Solaris run transparently with LinuxBIOS?
