I want to get some machines for the home network, and I want them to be fully supported by only-free software.
I would be happy to pay some business in Melbourne to build it from parts and test it, and ideally be available for warranty support.
For a while I've been wanting also a machine that supports free BIOS software like Coreboot or PMON. I've considered the following all-in-one motherboard from VIA: http://www.pioneercomputers.com.au/products/info.asp?c1=112&c2=115&id=2189 Which is listed as supported by Coreboot: http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Motherboards#Mini-ITX_.2F_Micro-ITX_.2F_Na... Or alternatively, I've considered the Lemote Yeelong's (fully-free laptop's) sister, Fuloong: http://www.lemote.com/en/products/mini-computer/2010/0310/111.html This doesn't help with the support side of things, though, which I realise is the more important part of the question.
