free (libre) BIOS/UEFI replacement. Based on coreboot, the aim is to distribute low-level boot firmware that is 100% free software, and easy to use."); ?>
Libreboot has many practical advantages over proprietary 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 install GNU/Linux with encrypted /boot/, verify GPG signatures on your kernel, write-protect the flash chip, run a full operating system directly from the flash chip (planned for a future release), and more.
Libreboot is developed in a series of git repositories for the firmware (coreboot distribution), documentation and the main part of the website.
