Doesn't require any binary blobs and comes with Trisquil GNU/Linux pre-installed.

Nice old machine but doesn't meet OP's desired spec, i.e. 8GB RAM and HDMI/DVI.

Also, I don't think binary-blob-free versions of Coreboot on the X60 like that one can run recent versions of Linux as-is; there's some issue with the graphics drivers according to the Coreboot wiki[1]

For HDMI/DVI you can get a converting dongle, but the 8GB RAM is definitely not going to be possible; the '945 is a 32-bit chipset.

That said, I have an X60 and it's a great machine to use, if only a bit underpowered these days.

My T400 gets DVI with its docking station, wouldn't the X60 have the same option?
