Is it right that this effectively "dongles" the OLPC hardware to the OLPC version of Fedora, making it impossible to use another Linux distribution or another operating system?

Also, can you please elaborate on: "This only works if you haven't powered off or otherwise reset the OLPC board since you loaded LinuxBIOS into FLASH. The reason is because LinuxBIOS cannot boot the software that we use in this procedure, which is set up to be booted by Insyde BIOS."

Will it be possible to restore the Insyde BIOS at a later time?
