The big pluspoint is that I have yet to come across a motherboard that will not support Linux or FreeBSD, at least for anything manufactured after about 2004. Even BIOS upgrades are very rare.

linux::kernelsort
Linux::KernelSort(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Linux::KernelSort(3pm)
NAME
Linux::KernelSort - Perl extension for sorting and comparing Linux kernel versions. The expected kernel version naming convention is the
same naming convetion demonstrated by http://www.kernel.org. NOTE: Currently, only the 2.6.x series of kernels (including -rc's, -git's,
and -mm's) are properly evaluated.
SYNOPSIS
use Linux::KernelSort;
my $kernel = new Linux::KernelSort;
my $ret;
my $version1 = "2.6.19";
my $version2 = "2.6.19-rc2-git7";
$ret = $kernel->compare($version1, $version2);
if ($ret == 0) {
print "$version1 and $version2 are the same version
";
} elsif ($ret > 0) {
print "$version1 is newer than $version2
";
} else {
print "$version1 is older than $version2
";
}
my @kernel_list = ( '2.6.15',
'2.6.18',
'2.6.18-rc2',
'2.6.18-rc2-git2',
'2.6.18-mm1',
'2.6.18-rc2-mm1' );
my @sorted_list = $kernel->sort(@kernel_list);
print join( ', ', @sorted_list );
DESCRIPTION
Linux::KernelSort is intended to sort a list of kernel versions into ascending order. It also provides the capability to compare two ker-
nel versions and determine if one version is newer, older, or the same as the other version.
FUNCTIONS
version_check() Purpose: Verify the version is valid and follows the proper naming convention demonstrated by http://www.kernel.org Input:
A string containing the kernel version Return: 0 if version is valid 1 if version is invalid
rank()
Purpose: Generate a ranking for a given kernel version
Input: A string containing the kernel version which
follows the proper naming convention demonstrated
by http://www.kernel.org
Return: Kernel ranking
compare()
Purpose: Compare two kernel versions
Input: Strings ($kernel1, $kernel2) each containing a
kernel version which follows the proper naming
conventaion demonstrated by http://www.kernel.org
Return -1 if $kernel1 < $kernel2 (ie $kernel1 is older than $kernel2)
0 if $kernel1 == $kernel2 (ie $kernel1 is the same version as $kernel2)
1 if $kernel1 > $kernel2 (ie $kernel1 is newer than $kernel2)
sort()
Purpose: Sort a list of kernel versions in ascending order.
Uses shell sort algorithm.
