- Many people use non-free firmware, even if they - use GNU/Linux. Libreboot joins GNU in building - a world where everyone can use, study, adapt and share software, with true control and ownership over their technology. -
-- Libreboot provides a fully automated build system and installation process, with documentation written for non-technical users, - in an attempt to make coreboot as easy to use as possible. ROM images are provided, along with utilities, all built from the - publicly distributed source code. -
- ++ Many people use non-free boot firmware, even if they + use GNU/Linux. Non-free BIOS/UEFI firmware often contains backdoors, + can be slow and have severe bugs, where you are left + helpless at the mercy of the developers; you have no freedom over your computing. By contrast, libreboot joins GNU in building + a world where everyone can use, study, adapt and share software, with true control and ownership over their technology. + In other words, you should use Libreboot for your freedom's sake! +
++ Libreboot is faster, more secure and more reliable than most proprietary firmware, and can provide many advanced features + (such as encrypted /boot/, GPG signature checking before booting your kernel, ability to load an OS from the flash chip, and + more). +

FCC in the USA is trying to *ban* free WiFi devices! Learn more at SaveWifi.org. Europeans, read this article and this article. Please act now! Libreboot is at risk with these new proposals.
-Libreboot is becoming part of the GNU project, and we need help with the transition. -- cgit v0.9.1
