What is the advantage of booting Linux directly with EFI instead of
using rEfit? The performance is improved if the system is booted with
EFI? Or it is just that it will boot up faster. I do not have a mac,
but I might buy one and install Debian.

Is the Macbook pro 100% compatible with EFI 2.0?

I also heard that if you boot directly with EFI, the video card will
not work properly.

Thanks,
