For developers, it makes it possible to learn criticial information about a device they are trying to write a driver for. For users, it makes it easy to troubleshoot problematic devices. iMacLinux has put together a guide that walks you through the basics of using Open Firmware and how to access it under Linux. You can find the guide here.”
