Subject: Flash BIOS From Linux?
I came across this website that lets you flash your BIOS from an ssh
session, and was wondering if anyone has used it?

http://flashrom.org/

They claim the following:

- No physical access needed, root access is sufficient.
- No bootable floppy disk, bootable CD-ROM or other media needed.
- No keyboard or monitor needed. Simply reflash remotely via SSH.

Of course it only supports certain chipsets, but looks pretty interesting.
