Gigabyte's ASPM Motherboard Fix: Use Windows

Just today I unpacked a HP laptop that came with SLED.

What motherboards are used in Apple's Mac products? Maybe they would be more suitable for linux builds?

They are using a custom EFI (_not_ UEFI) and it works perfectly. Read the manpage of the bless-command, which helps you boot even better.
I'll buy a Mac mini soon - although the price is high, it is very reliable, silent, easy to upgrade/repair and not wrapped into a plastic shell.
