From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Well if they could get it to fit on a mini-dvd or a CD then nothing would be lost but I guess pre-UEFI systems are slowly going to be abandoned. (Guess coreboot community needs more funding)
My pre-UEFI system can boot from a USB drive.
Most still-functional ones can.
yeah, i think you'd have to make a lot of effort to find a pc newer than 20 years old that doesn't support usb booting
Here... I still have one :(
damn
and i thought my computer was obsolete. i bought it "new" 10 years ago, but i optimized for price, so it was already obsolete then. still, it supports usb booting
Don't forget that a lot of people still prefers legacy BIOS, even on modern system.
But most of those should support booting from USB devices.
