@ -19,6 +19,15 @@ project much like the old one. Libreboot used to be entirely blob-free; coreboot
is otherwise free software, but requires blobs on some mainboards, so Libreboot
previously could not support all mainboards from Coreboot.
The benefit of both Canoeboot and Libreboot is that they provide a completely
automated build process and installation procedure, with well-tested builds
released on a regular basis that the user can simply install, with minimal
fuss. You can think of it as a *coreboot distro*. Coreboot provides snapshot
source code archives every few months, but that's it. Libreboot/Canoeboot gives
you the ROM images pre-compiled, with source code, and with payloads
already pre-configured. In other words: Canoeboot and Libreboot make coreboot
extremely easy to use.
