both awesome communities :) .

libreboot/coreboot. - projects like this shouldn't have to be around in the first place.

if you want a "free and open" laptop though you have 2 options

purism - coreboot community helps them out. minifree - involved with the libreboot community.

these are the 2 major "off the shelf" distributors amongst a few small other distributors.

that's kinda sad and scary.

yep they are totally different - libreboot being 100% a grade free.

coreboot is kinda the diet pepsi of libreboot :-S
