I had not read Phoronix in a while, so was skimming through recent articles and came across this: Coreboot Now Works On A ~$70 Intel Motherboard http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTg1MTM "Coreboot has been ported to work on another Intel motherboard... The new port is for the Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H, a micro-ATX motherboard that's fairly decent if you're still using SNB/IVB era hardware." "The Gigabyte motherboard port was done by Damien Zammit and is based on Coreboot's Lenovo X230 port. Damien says Coreboot on this board can boot to Linux via SATA or USB and all USB ports are reported to work." It's great to see more hardware supported by CoreBoot that is still available in retail. Great stuff Damien! -Adam
