+ <p>
+ Any distribution should work, so long as it uses kernel mode setting for graphics.
+ We recommend using distributions that are entirely free software; most distros
+ out there have proprietary software in them, but the ones that we recommend
+ do not have proprietary software by default.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Note: we are not the Free Software Foundation. The recommendations here
+ consist of both FSF-endorsed and non-FSF-endorsed distros.

+ <h2>Debian GNU/Linux</h2>
+ <p>
+ Most of the developers use it (Leah Rowe always uses testing
+ releases of Debian). We recommend Debian stable releases for
+ most users. If you want to do development, e.g. libreboot
+ development, then you should use the testing release of Debian.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Debian by default comes without non-free software in the default
+ installation or repos. There is a non-free repo that's not added
+ by default. Just avoid adding this, and you should have a fully
+ free system.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ <a href="https://www.debian.org/">Visit the Debian website</a>
+ </p>
+ <h2>Parabola GNU/Linux</h2>
+ <p>
+ Fully free bleeding edge distribution, based on <em>Arch Linux</em>.
+ Good for saavy users and developers in general (some libreboot developers
+ use this).
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Arch users, refer to the <a href="https://wiki.parabola.nu/Migration_from_the_GNU/Linux_distribution_of_Arch">Parabola migration guide</a>.
