The latest Vaio Z-series machines have an Insyde H2O UEFI firmware with BIOS compatibility. The boot time is not noticably faster. I /believe/ that the Aspire One is based on the same platform, so is technically an EFI machine - however, there doesn't appear to be any means of actually booting through it (rather than the compatibility layer) so the difference is pretty academic. -- Matthew Garrett | mjg59@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
