"Sells" you mean... I bought a Dell laptop a couple years ago, and it had a 'BIOS' like you describe. But there was an option in the several pages of BIOS to use 'Legacy' mode. It wasn't like any legacy BIOS I'd ever seen, but I did manage to get it to boot a civilized OS. I just looked at servers on their website, and they have a feature they call "Optional Operating System". That implies they are available without Windows and will boot Debian. Servers, anyway. -- Glenn English
