hi,

im looking for Unix/Linux friendly hardware(desks,laps,phones,etc) free of proprietary software or compatible with free software(OS,BIOS firmware,etc) something that is easy to replace stock or something that cames with free software preinstalled and that i can replace it if i want to.
i've seen some lists that contain vendors that are Unix/Linux friendly and also the hardware endorsed by FSF which seem to be Lenovo thinkpads,etc the thing is it seems most of hardware require external flashing to replace BIOS,etc and makes the task harder..

 

my question is,
what is the best Unix/Linux friendly hardware manufacturer?
which hardware is the best to make a computer 100% free (free BIOS and OS) and that is optimized for Unix/Unix-like/Linux based OS's?

 

Thank you.
