“The Free Software Foundation publicly announced today the ‘Respects Your Freedom’ certification for the Gluglug X60 laptops. These refurbished laptops come from an Internet retailer in the UK that replaces the proprietary ThinkPad BIOS with Coreboot.

The press release says, ‘This is the first laptop the FSF has been able to endorse and encourage people to purchase, because it this is the first laptop sold with a completely free boot system and OS pre-installed.'”
