+ Libreboot has many practical advantages over <a href="https://gnu.org/philosophy/proprietary/">proprietary</a> boot
+ firmware, such as faster boot speeds and better security; source audits are possible and,
+ therefore, the firmware is unlikely to contain backdoors (common in proprietary firmware). You
+ can <a href="docs/gnulinux/index.html">install GNU/Linux with encrypted /boot/</a>, <a href="http://www.coreboot.org/GRUB2#signed_kernels">verify GPG signatures on your kernel</a>,
+ write-protect the flash chip, run a <a href="http://proteanos.com/">full operating system</a> directly
+ from the flash chip (planned for a future release), and more.

+ Libreboot is developed in a series of <a href="git/">git repositories</a> for the firmware (coreboot distribution), documentation and the main part of the website. <a href="<?php echo $lbFirmwareGitwebAddress; ?>"><?php echo gettext("Browse the main repository"); ?></a>
