You rarely need to flash a BIOS. Hardware changes are just about the only reason.

It is still the most effective way to kill a motherboard.

And in consideration of the fact that we’ve seen NO posts from our local effete corps of iMpudent iSnobs, I pose the following Q&A:

Q - HOW does an iSnob flash their Apple’s BIOS?

A - With an iFlash iUtility from the iSnobs 4-3VR website!

OK, it’s still early, need some iCoffee to spark up my sense of iHumor.

I just received a used Thinkpad A30. I think the CPU is 1 Ghz and 256 megs of RAM. What flavor of Linux would you suggest I install?
