Just have a free mind to try more simple mail clients, like Trojita (independently Qt-written) and Balsa (written for GNOME but a bit smaller than Evolution). I'm just heartbroken against Mozilla frameworks, I also never run KDE apps unless w/o KDE deps.

I'd also put a TV tuner on it, and find a way to integrate RetroArch/MythTV/Kodi. This would make a beautiful, awesome entertainment machine. Which is great, because most TV set top boxes are nasty devices running malicious proprietary software. The TV won't even stay on when you ask it to! It

Whether you can flash coreboot depends not only on the motherboard manufacturer. Don't you know the (in)famous Boot Guard? Just find a compatible board with appropriate chipsets from coreboot's wiki and search it on eBay or Taobao.

Thanks. At least I'm not alone! I just though... If the GUI upgrader is complaining about something, won't the command line upgrader run into the same problem? Because the GUI is just a front-end that will ultimately be performing the same actions as the command-line approach, right?
