By "right hardware", I assume you mean hardware that comes with already preinstalled non-free software? Does choosing only hardware with preinstalled non-free software (instead of partially OS-supplied non-free firmware) make the non-free software more free? > What it seems this vote is about is to go back to the time where a > non-free work is required before you can get to the decent free > environment. Try removing all non-free firmware then. Your system won't boot, not display anything and you won't be able to input anything either. Ansgar
