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.

I've no idea what you're referring to aside from maybe the Intel ME, but there may be a way to flash coreboot on it.
When any pc starts, isn't there the boot up menu etc? I'm referring to that. In that menus there are options of remote access or firmware updates etc apart of course the usual setup options like in what turn the boots take place eg HDD, network, dvdrom , USB and others like time, date etc.
Intel ME is one concern yes but I doubt I can flash corevoot on this machine as it is almost 2 years old.
