1 I was poking around in my BIOS this morning and rediscovered a setting to
2 define the installed OS. I'd wondered about it some time ago and then

5 I can set the BIOS setting "OS Installation" to "Other" or to "64bit Linux
6 2.6.9". I have it set to Other at the moment. My questions are: what effect
7 this setting is likely to have, and whether it's really specific to the
8 version.

10 This is a Supermicro H8DCE motherboard with dual Opteron 246s and 4GB RAM in
11 four banks, two connected to each CPU.

13 I've tried Google but found nothing.
