Hello Guys,

I recently went to the glugglug shop website (http://shop.gluglug.org.uk/) and I found that the X60 laptops aren't shown. Does that means that they aren't sell anymore?

- If that's the case, What can be done? Any alternatives?

Furthermore, What is the status of FSF suported hardware-related projects? What are the trends for the future?.

I post this topic with the idea of bringing back the discussion and to foster knowledge share so freedom-concerning users could get informed.

so...Let's talk...

It looks like they discontinued that model... perhaps they'll have a new model soon enough.
ThinkPenguin has great laptops or desktops- they all are made to work with the Linux-Libre kernel, and 100% Free Software.

Some more options:

You could not too long ago get an X60 elsewhere and have them flash Libreboot....The website doesn't say so anymore but I don't see why.

Thank guys for the answers...

In your opinion, How long will it take to have complete free hardware (laptops, mobile phones, eReaders, etc) available to FSF users?

What do you think about that future? is it utopic?
