Would that include any proprietary blobs in the installation? I know coreboot  
packages them, but it's a Core 2 Duo machine, so...

Try to get lenovo G505s and install coreboot.
To install core boot on it you will need external flasher.

Hi guys

I am interested to know how can i check if i have AMD PSP installed on my  
Laptop and which version do i have?


I am afraid for the security on the machine that i am using.Its HP laptop  
with AMD A10 5745M CPU and dedicated GPU(R7 M260 Topaz XT).Compared to the  
another Acer laptop with Beema E26110 the HP laptop has LED indicators for  
the ethernet.


Now quite often my ethernet LED would remain active even after my Laptop has  
been turned OFF.Now sometimes it would happen when i turn OFF the  
Laptop(initiate through Ubuntu interface)my screen just goes into loading for  
the power OFF and remains there,and then if i would turn OFF laptop on the  
power button(by holding it until laptop turns OFF),my LED for the ehternet  
would turn OFF,only in this case,otherwise it would still remain ON.


Now i already tried fixing this with newer BIOS firmware,but this did not  
worked.Also worth of mentioning both laptops have really low number of  
options in their BIOS and on A10 version overclocking is not available at  
all,as there are no GUI tool for GNU/linux and options inside BIOS are  
limited.


So maybe you see my previous thread where i was interested in ARM,but when it  
comes to purchasing old Libreboot laptops such as X200 ,i am really skeptical  
as eroding is a problem and i do not like to buy used stuff .
