Re: [Trisquel-users] Libreboot T400 Review!

Where does all the hate come from? This forum is the most unfriendly place I have ever been on the internet. This behaviour is poisonous and is damaging the whole free and open software movement. This review clearly refers to a purchase that was made at least one year or even longer ago.

Hi, unfortunately my whole computer equipment got electrocuted in a thunderstorm. My beloved librebooted T400 was among the victims. It wasn't even connected to the power supply but to a LAN cable. Everything connected to the LAN has been librecuted (router, firewall and laptop) and now I

It is sad that once again there‘s people with the same goals fighting against each other. It looks to me that you, Leah, like to pick a fight. In almost each of your comments you point out how much cheaper your laptops are. People can read and choose, you don‘t need to say it a hundred

To each his own. I like the older Lenovo Thinkpads. The keyboard has been mentioned, in my mind the "old" models are far superior to the latest models. I like the overall design of a Thinkpad. Macbooks are nice but they are hard to repair which is disproportionately expensive. Upgrades are

Check the install instructions page as well: https://libreboot.org/docs/install/ "Available modes: vesafb or txtmode. The vesafb ROM images are recommended, in most cases; txtmode ROM images come with MemTest86+, which requires text-mode instead of the usual framebuffer used by coreboot

Hi Megver83, first of all, I am sorry that I am not going much into detail now, because I don't have a lot of time. I will come back to this topic. ;-) You don't need a PSU! The 3.3V of the RPi is sufficient. The Jumper cables are only different in colour so that you can identify

Like I said, I don‘t have a problem with your opinion, although it seems to me you made up your mind pretty quickly. That is part of today‘s zeitgeist; one has to live with the fact, that a lot of people only read the headlines and then pretend to know everything. They fill the gaps with

Like SuperTramp83 I recommend a T400 as well. You can put 8GB of RAM in it, 2 Harddrives preferably SSD, and choose between screen resolutions. See here for details: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:T400 A T400 can be found around a 100 bucks (or cheaper) on ebay. You don‘t need much

Exactly. I upgraded it to 8GB of RAM and put in 2 SSDs and it's working great. Not that you need to play FullHD movies on this display but it's working without problems. I am very happy with it. I don't know if virtualization works with libreboot but I haven't tried out yet. It's not a
