it's my understanding that EFI is actually a deprecated precursor to UEFI. from wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Interface): > Intel developed the original EFI (Extensible Firmware Interface) > specification. Some of the EFI's practices and data formats mirror those from > Microsoft Windows.[5][6] In 2005, UEFI deprecated EFI 1.10 (the final release > of EFI). The Unified EFI Forum manages the UEFI specification. -Gravis On Tue, Jan 20, 2015 at 12:02 AM, rlfrost <fros...@mindspring.com> wrote: > > Just to clear up the EFI misconception, Debian can be installed on EFI > computers.
