Setting up BIOS is a pain.  Managing 100+ machines and making sure that 
they all run the same version, with the same options, and upgrading BIOS 
if it isn't quite right is *tons* of fun, particularly if you need to 
plug in a monitor and keyboard to do it.  By contrast, LinuxBIOS gives 
you much better control (see http://www.linuxbios.org/).
