I've often wondered this, now seems a pertinent time to ask, what is the significance of the "OS" setting in the Compaq bios? I think I've traditionally set it to "Linux" for want of a better choice (!), but I've never been clear on what difference, if any, it makes. Anyone care to enlighten me? Any settings I should, or shouldn't, use? (I'll check what I have set for APIC too, although I don't have any multiprocessor machines just now).
