His writing spans not only books but feature articles and how-to columns for a handful of PC magazines and web sites, including Computer User, PC World, and CNET.com. His journey into the digital world began at a humble grass roots, learning the nuances of bits and bytes as a communications system and field service engineer when raw logic was truly raw logic in the 70s and the 8008 processor was programmed with paper tape and Teletype machines. From cross-country, arm-lengthening toolbox- toting he moved to more desktop- and keyboard-bound roles in support engineering helping transition minicomputer and microcomputer systems from research labs through production to customers. Acquiring his first "turbo XT" PC in 1986 and totally baffled by a blank DOS prompt, he sought out the mentoring of a good friend to lead him gently into the PC abyss from where he has yet to surface. That mentoring led to his first collaborative work about PCs published in 1990, to his first COMDEX experience, and to his first real job working with PCs full-time for DiagSoft: supporting, testing, and marketing PC diagnostic software.

Intel has been working in EFI/UEFI since mid 1990s, and there are vendors like HP or Apple that provided EFI machines since a long time ago. But it is when Microsoft announced Windows 8 that UEFI became the required way to boot the new certified machines. • Secure boot is an extension of UEFI. One of the key points of UEFI is that it can be extended. UEFI has an internal virtual machine that is independent of the architecture that it is using. The standard accepts special binary files compiled for this virtual machine (EFI binaries) that can be executed inside the environment. These binaries can be device drivers, applications or extensions to the UEFI standard. UEFI, in some sense, is like a small operative system that runs when the machine is powered on and whose main task is to find and load another operating system. Unified Extensible Firmware Interface Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) is meant as a replacement for the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) firmware interface ● Initially (1998) designed by Intel for Itanium processor ● Since 2005 managed by the Unified EFI Forum (uefi.org) Source: http://loadays.org/archives/2013/static/slides/Integrating-UEFI-into-rear.pdf Why UEFI? • BIOS has its (aging) limitations – 16-bit processes – max.

In this tutorial (Part 4), we'll bolster your knowledge of advanced Linux administration skills by covering a variety of topics including Linux filesystems, the Linux boot process, runlevels, filesystem quotas, and system logs. This tutorial is particularly appropriate for someone who may be serving as the primary sysadmin for the first time, since we cover a lot of low-level issues that all system administrators should know. If you are new to Linux, we recommend that you start with Part 1 and work through the series from there. For some, much of this material will be new, but more experienced Linux users may find this tutorial to be a great way of "rounding out" their foundational Linux system administration skills and preparing for the next LPI certification level.
