| '''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]].

| |
| * 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|devices]], and [[payloads]]
| |
| <!-- * Further features: netboot, serial console, remote flashing, ... -->
