Re: [gentoo-hardened] Re: Which laptop compatible with hardened-workstation ?

Thanks for info.

I am wondering of video driver.

Does hardened work with binary driver ?
As all know, supplier as Intel, nVidia and AMD/ATI provides mostly
binary driver.

Should choose a laptop build with an AMD/ATI GPU using the open-source
radeonhd driver ?

Thanks
