There is no ''easy to install package'' for people who want to quickly try out a new BIOS on their computer, yet. For this purpose we will soon provide a disk image, which you can use with the [[QEMU]] emulator to test coreboot on your Linux, OS X and Windows computers (without having to do any hardware changes).

coreboot provides no binaries, but there exist some distributions that do so, see [[#coreboot_distributions|below]].


There is an archive of snapshots available at [http://qa.coreboot.org/ qa.coreboot.org]. There is a .bz2 tar file that gets updated when the repository changes. Older snapshots are maintained as well. You can also [http://www.coreboot.org/viewvc/trunk/coreboot-v2.tar.gz?view=tar download the most current snapshot] directly.
There are source code releases on http://coreboot.org/releases/

coreboot keeps its development tree in a [http://subversion.tigris.org/ Subversion] repository.  
coreboot uses git and gerrit for source code management. Please see the [[Git]] page on how to work with git and gerrit in coreboot.
