Coreboot is the alternative to UEFI. If UEFI is such a threat to customer freedom and also, if problems are expected, that these are two reasons to have a second look at coreboot. I am not interested in running a cracked Windows or whatever, I just do not want this functionality on my hardware. Also, I do not wish to pay for its developement! With Linux there are already problems with UEFI, because the mainboard/UEFI manufacturers do not adhere to the standards. (No link this time, please search yourself.) I do not like that as well. And since I am the customer, please, let me decide what I pay for. Peter -- coreboot mailing list: [email protected] http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
