14 DAY TRIAL // Steve McIntyre, a renowned Debian developer and leader of the "Debian-CD" team, wrote an interesting announcement a couple of days ago informing us all that there was a new team of developers for Debian, maintaining all of their UEFI packages.
The main goal of the new Debian UEFI team is to improve the support for UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) systems on the current stable and testing versions of the Debian GNU/Linux operating system.
"We've just started a new team in Debian for maintaining our UEFI packages together, with git repositories in a shared project on alioth etc. We're just working out the exact details of how we're going to manage things," says Steve McIntyre.
However, it would be impossible for them to test all the possible UEFI systems and configurations available out there, so if you have some UEFI horror stories to share, they are looking for firmware issues that need workarounds and patches.
Don't be shy, drop a comment below or send a message to the new Debian UEFI team informing them about the issues you have experienced with your UEFI computer when attempting to install Debian GNU/Linux.
