+ with libreboot pre-installed, along with a free GNU/Linux distribution.

+ <p>
+ The flash chip is in a PDIP 8 socket (SPI flash chip) on the motherboard,
+ which you take out and then re-flash with libreboot, using the programmer.
+ <b>DO NOT</b> remove the chip with your hands. Use a chip extractor tool.
