Installing Linux On Extensible Firmware Interface Machines

Is there any special distro / requirement for installing Linux on machines with Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI)?

The new machines do not use ordinary PC BIOS.

Example: new Apple computers with Intel CPU.

http://developer.intel.com/technology/efi/links.htm

a read of those links shows up that you need a distro with the latest 2.6 kernel and elilo.

but i am surprised that m$ are developing this with intel yet there is linux compatibility.

EDIT: here we go: (from the intel site for EFI)

# Linux* ELILO sources on SourceForge

* http://sourceforge.net/projects/elilo/*
* http://elilo.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/blosxom
Source for new ELILO requires gcc3.x and binutils 2.11.90 or higher binaries already compiled Linux* kernel with EFI support for IA32 is now up on http://www.kernel.org/ in any of the Kernels starting from 2.6.1 or higher.
