'''coreboot''' (formerly known as LinuxBIOS) is a Free Software project aimed at replacing the proprietary BIOS (firmware) you can find in most of today's computers. It performs just a little bit of hardware initialization and then executes a so-called [[Payloads|payload]].
 
We currently support '''[[Supported Motherboards|202]]''' different mainboards.

<small>
* 100% Free Software (GPL), no royalties, no license fees!
* Fast boot times (3 seconds to Linux console)
<!-- * Avoids the need for a slow/buggy/proprietary BIOS -->
<!-- * Runs in 32-Bit protected mode almost from the start -->
<!-- * Written in C, contains virtually no assembly code -->
* Supports many [[Supported Motherboards|mainboards]], [[Supported Chipsets and Devices|chipsets]], and [[payloads]]
<!-- * Further features: netboot, serial console, remote flashing, ... -->
