[coreboot] Set Top Boxes and Linux?

[Gregg Levine]

Hello!
Me? Nothing special. Because of that penguin as give-away, I decided
to ask about the whole idea. I know about the Chrome Books, and every
time I see one, I naturally think about the group. And every time I
see a certain series of advertisements, I wonder who wrote them
because a certain TV series here in the US.
