I finally found time to complete the installation of my Libreboot laptop
I decided to give Parabola GNU/Linux a try as my daily driver to get a fully Free Software Laptop/tablet.
After Parabola GNU/Linux is booted verify that you have internet access if the network card is support and dhcp is enabled on you network you should get a network address.

I got a ThinkPad x60 (tablet version) from ebay.be to install libreboot on it.
I tried to compile libreboot on Debian and Parabola GNU/Linux but both failed, compling Libreboot on Trisquel 7 works fine so I’ll use Trisquel to replace the BIOS with libreboot.
I’m not sure that I’ll use Trisquel 7 as my daily driver since it is a bit outdated…
I might go with Debian Strech without the non-free repositories to get a fully Free Software Laptop/tablet. I’ll need to replace the Intel wifi adapter since this requires non-free firmware.
You’ll find a small howto install libreboot on a Thinkpad X60 below.
The latest version of libreboot isn’t available via a binary distribution so I decided to build it from source.

I’m preparing to move my workstation to arch linux Before I’ll install it on my physical workstation I did the installation on a virtual machine. I’ll use btrfs as the filesystem during the installation. btrfs is a nice filesystem but it had some serious dataloss issue with RAID5/RAID6 recently.
btrfs might not stable enough for a production environment but it has some nice features like snapshots, send/recieve, compression etc. I use zfs for my important date anyway.
