2 questions.. 1. laptops and linuxbios, 2. bios-savior for laptops?

[Nicholas Mistry]

ok, sorry for the dual post, but they are somewhat related.

1.  I havent really put much thought to using linuxbios on a laptop, but a
recent post has planted a bug in my brain to try and get it to work on
some of the older laptops i have laying around.    How many people have
tried to get linux bios on their laptops, and how well does it work.

this issue now prompts this quesion:

2.  What type of "bios savior" options are there for laptops?  or is that
just a pipe dream at this point?
