Linux Journal: Thinkpad X60 and Libreboot

Kyle Rankin has a new article in Linux Journal, entitled “Libreboot on an X60, Part I: the Setup”. Excerpt:

In my next couple articles, I’m going to walk through the journey that brought me to the X60 running Libreboot that I’m using to type this column. In this first part, I discuss the setup, including what Libreboot is, what hardware it currently supports and some of the risks around flashing your BIOS. If I haven’t scared you off by the end of this article, in future articles, I’ll cover how to download Libreboot and verify its integrity, how to flash the BIOS itself in detail with sample script output and how to modify the default GRUB bootloader. If you can’t wait until next month, a lot of my process is based on the excellent guide provided at https://github.com/bibanon/Coreboot-ThinkPads/wiki/ThinkPad-X60.
