OpenBIOS releases a Forth kernel

The OpenBIOS project has announced the release of a Forth kernel, known as "BeginAgain." Most users, who are strangely uninterested in typing Forth code at something close to bare hardware, will probably not rush out to install this release. But it is a step forward for the OpenBIOS project and for everybody wanting to run their systems with free software all the way down to the bare metal. The BeginAgain platform is mostly useful for testing at this point, but when a few more pieces are added (a device interface and the client layer which will allow the system to boot operating systems) OpenBIOS should start to get interesting for a wider group of users.
