It would be good to have more reading on that. I had it on my todo list to
move to UEFI the machines at home.
Well the FW does not have any idea of UEFI :)
I moved the desktop last week, but left the server.
For the notebooks however it is really no fun anymore as the bios requires
special settings to be even able to install/boot debian.
I noticed already that modern server hardware goes UEFI only, so does modern
linux OS, but it would be interesting to know the technical background
behind.
