    I am wondering if the linux bios, which is becoming very popular, will run on an 6214w. Have anyone tried it? Or does anyone know which mainboard the 6214w has, so I can figure it out?

    I believe LinuxBios is in a state of "If you have to ask, then forget about it.", and just "forget about it" when it comes to laptops.
