Hi Zoltan,

Could you please provide some documentation on how to run Linux or some other 
free (as in free beer) OS on this machine? Can you provide an Avocado test 
booting e.g. Linux as a quality gate for the VIA south bridges?

As you know I'm trying to bring these south bridges to the PC machine and 
relying on hard to get proprietary blobs or OSes makes this very difficult. 
Whenever the VIA south bridges are changed we end up having endless discussions 
due to this situation. We need a solution that works for everybody woking on 
these south bridges.

Best regards,
Bernhard
