[Gnewsense-dev] Targeted hardware

[Will Jones]

Hi all,

I was just wondering if there was any specific hardware that's being
targeted by the gnewsense developers. I've recently become interested in
chromebook hardware (i386/x86_64) because it already supports coreboot as a
bootloader, so the only potential issues that I could see would be wifi
drivers, but from what I can tell most of the other hardware support seems
to be free software.

We don't currently add support for any hardware other than what Debian
supports. We give the Lemote Yeeloong some extra attention, but that
might end when Debian no longer supports it.

I don't have experience with chromebooks. If something doesn't work you
can always try a newer kernel from GNU Linux-libre.
