Re: [Trisquel-users] Libreboot X200

the bios is the first software executed when you boot your computer. If the  
bios is malicious, and I mean expertly programmed to be malicious and  
compatible with your OS, then you can wipe your harddrive and reinstall your  
OS 312321412 times - it is game over: at each boot your bios will take over  
your OS, it will modify your boot process and take control of your OS. That  
is how I understand it, from what I've read and understood. I may be wrong  
though.
