Thank you for this detailed, awesome answer! Very comprehensive. UEFI sounds quite cool, although I have neither used nor wrote code for it.

comment How to test whether Linux is running on a ThinkPad?
As far as I can understand, you want to make sure you are on Linux using a shell script. I guess uname -o # --operating-system may help. I'm on Ubuntu 13.4 latest, and it reports GNU/Linux.

I'm halfway through the article Michael suggested and I'm starting to get scared. I wanted to ask this question because of this article, and I start to see the point of Hispalinux guys.
