+title: Suppliers selling or providing Libreboot pre-installed
+...
+
+For some, installing Libreboot can be an intimidating task, so several
+companies and individuals have taken it upon themselves to provide systems with
+Libreboot preinstalled. This is a list of those companies (sorted into
+alphabetical order, to remove bias) along with lists of what Libreboot hardware
+they provide (some of these companies also invest money/skills into Libreboot
+development):
+
+These lists also include Libreboot-related merchendise, such as stickers.
+Some of these hardware sellers also have endorsement from the Free Software
+Foundation, via their *Respects Your Freedom* certification program.
+
+Libiquity
+=========
+
+Patrick McDermott, the founder of Libiquity, is also a former Libreboot
+contributor, having contributed several useful patches to the project.

+Leah Rowe, the founder of Minifree, is also the founder of the Libreboot
+project, and a current contributor to the project (but Leah is no longer leader

+development, especially ports to newer hardware). Minifree is also the first
+company to ever achieve FSF RYF status.

+Other suppliers
+===============
+
+Sellers on eBay
+---------------
+
+On the eBay website, in various countries, you can search for libreboot and
+you may find some individual sellers providing Libreboot-preinstalled hardware.
+
+We cannot verify the quality of these suppliers, but they do exist.
+
+Some of them also provide choice of GNU+Linux distribution, or they may provide
+services where you can ship your Libreboot-compatible device to them and they
+would install Libreboot for you.
+
+This can be useful for some people, but due to the nature of eBay, we cannot
+link to them since eBay listings are regularly deleted due to expiration (some
+sellers may choose to have longer listings, or renew expired listings).
+
+There may also be other websites similar to eBay (e.g. mercado livre, available
+for several South American countries) that might have Libreboot hardware on
+them.
+
+**If you are considering purchasing from a supplier on eBay, make sure to read
+their feedback comments for other products that they sell, and check their
+seller rating. Don't get duped by a bad seller!**
+
+Workshops/hackerspaces
+----------------------
+
+You may have a GNU+Linux User Group, free software workshop or hackerspace near
+you that can help you with installing Libreboot, for instance.
