You can use telnet to send email also, but it is is easier to run mail muhammed@trisquel Then ignore Cc by pressing enter, write a subject and press enter. Everything else you write is the message body. When you finish writing, press enter and then CTRL+D.
Re: [Trisquel-users] The NSA and the likes do use radio waves to get inside someone's computer, through the use of "spy hardware"
Concerning my post, I'm just denouncing what I know, in order for anyone to take any kind of precautions they want... And, I'm leaving here this information for, as you say, everyone to worry as much about this as they want. Most of all, I want to call everyone's attention to the fact that, what people might think is a "secure" computer, in terms of privacy, that they have, just because they installed a completely free distro, like Trisquel, in it, might not be that "secure", after all, if you're using some of the more recent hardware. (And, yes... I took the opportunity to call again everyone's attention to the need that, I consider very important and that, I already expressed here - https://trisquel.info/en/forum/million-dollar-question-concerning-hardware-we-use - and that even Richard Stallman, itself, expressed, in one of his more recent lectures - https://trisquel.info/en/forum/million-dollar-question-concerning-hardware-we-use#comment-43286 - that we should, seriously, worry about "freeing" our hardware, also...) Concerning the rest, that you said, Even if you're a US citizen, you can still get killed by a drone. (http://prisonplanet.com/lawsuit-filed-against-government-over-assassination-of-us-citizens.html) And, you don't have to be a US citizen, in order to have to worry about the NSA, and the likes... All the Western intelligence agencies work together, when it comes to spying on their own citizens. (http://statewatch.org/eu-usa-data-surveillance.htm) And, I can tell that the people in Portugal who surveil activists, read their Gmail, Yahoo, and similar US-based services', correspondence. In my case, I've even been repeatedly censored (have had comments of mine mysteriously "disappear") in the Google-owned "Blogger" network (http://blackfernando.blogspot.pt/2012/09/fernando-negro-spam.html) by someone who can, clearly, read Portuguese. And, have had also comments of mine, in English, deleted on YouTube. (http://blackfernando.blogspot.pt/2013/03/como-o-youtube-censura-os-meus.html) More than that, the well-informed part of the population, here, knows that the US intelligence agencies also operate in Portuguese territory. And, that it was even the CIA, itself, who killed one of our former Prime-Ministers, for not "playing ball" with US international dirty deals. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqH8hKuty_4) So, in a "globalized world", and one in which the US government stretches its tentacles all over the globe, it's not just the American population that is affected by the NSA's, and the likes', dirty activity - and that has to worry about it.
Re: [Trisquel-users] what is the best trisquel laptop for my purposes?
I think the best combination for you could be "ThinkPad X60 w. Trisquel GNU/Linux", but you can also look at some other choices. On the laptop side, look for the coreboot supported models, like the Lenovo X201, or some Google Chromebooks (e.g. the HP Chromebook 14). As for the "GNU/Linux" distro, it depends on your preferences. If you want a free Ubuntu derivate, go for Trisquel. You can also use plain Debian GNU/Linux, which is completely free, except that it does provide non-free packages through its non-free repository. You may also like Parabola, which is a free Arch spin-off.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Need advice about wireless
Nevertheless, you can still use Trisquel and when you need to connect to Internet use another option.
Re: [Trisquel-users] gluglug thinkpad x60 w/ coreboot mini review
Thanks so much lembas. I ran this option: sudo passwd -dl root I'll exercise more caution in the future and consult the forums before executing such commands.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 7 based on Mate Desktop
I don't know what "Actual desktop" is supposed to mean. I'd like to see GNOME Shell as the default DE in Trisquel 7.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 7 based on Mate Desktop
I can't stand it!!! I love other versions of gnome. The way I see it, Gnome Shell looks like a mobile or tablet with Google bubble embedded.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 7 based on Mate Desktop
As I can see, that would be fatal for Trisquel. There are not many developers to change and make a Trisquel version running on Mate. Moreover, there will appear newer bugs to work on as Trisquel is done to get on with Gnome.

Re: [Trisquel-users] proper/practical use of tor
I guess that "torify" command is good solution for turning all importent traffic to TOR. For example you can change your ~/.bashrc and add some aliases such as "alias pidgin='torify pidgin'" et cetera for all your network applications )
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 7 based on Mate Desktop
IIRC, Mate will be brought to the Debian reps in next months/year. So, maybe by the time Trisquel 7 comes out, it won't involve all that work, one could just access Debian rep and install it from there (assuming Ubuntu doesn't get it imported to their own, that would even simplify more the process). To be fair, I like to use Gnome 3 fallback mode, which is very similar to Gnome 2. But since Mate is based on gnome 2, I think it would be better to that way, using pure Gnome 2 instead of relying on fallback mode which can just stop being provided at any moment.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 7 based on Mate Desktop
How about no desktop environment, but instead a script to let the user choose which one to install and use the first time he boots up. That way everyone gets their desktop of choise.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 7 based on Mate Desktop
bad idea as that requires internet connection at the time of install. Not everyone feels comfortable with this. However, maybe having different versions available to download would be a good idea (like Mint and Debian do). One CD with Gnome 3 other with KDE, other with Mate, etc.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 7 based on Mate Desktop
From what I see Mate will be in Ubuntu 14.04 repo. http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2014/01/mate-desktop-ubuntu-1404 ,so I see it compatible with Ubuntu from the start.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 7 based on Mate Desktop
Actual desktop = Gnome Desktop
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 7 based on Mate Desktop
Gnome shell ftw. Sorry, but it's just the best (imo). But there should definitely be the option to switch if people want to do that.

Re: [Trisquel-users] easy-to-follow Postfix guide?
Thanks BugRep "CTRL ]" gives me the prompt "telnet>" ... I'm not sure what I can do from here, or how to return to "muhammed@trisquel:". I mailed myself with "mail muhammed@trisquel", and it seemed to go well. When I try and chek my mailbox by entering "mail", I get this message: "Cannot open mailbox /var/mail/muhammed: Permission denied No mail for muhammed" I tried the command "ehlo localhost" as well, from the Ubuntu guide. I get the response "command not found". I'll keep trying
Re: [Trisquel-users] easy-to-follow Postfix guide?
Ctrl+D to return to shell prompt. You might not have the mailbox. Execute: sudo touch /var/mail/muhammed sudo chown muhammed:mail /var/mail/muhammed sudo chmod 600 /var/mail/muhammed
Re: [Trisquel-users] The NSA and the likes do use radio waves to get inside someone's computer, through the use of "spy hardware"
No... Abolish the NSA and the likes, and create a Free Hardware movement. That's the way to solve the problem.
Re: [Trisquel-users] The NSA and the likes do use radio waves to get inside someone's computer, through the use of "spy hardware"
Meanwhile, this is the only option.
Re: [Trisquel-users] The NSA and the likes do use radio waves to get inside someone's computer, through the use of "spy hardware"
Everyone notice how the company suspected of selling chips with spy technology (that is also the leading one, in terms of information technology) is called "Intel"... (http://www.prisonplanet.com/secret-3g-intel-chip-gives-snoops-backdoor-pc-access.html) In day-to-day English language usage, "intel" is a short term for intelligence. And is usually used to mean both "intelligence agencies" and "information of interest to these kind of institutions". If the new Intel ix chips do have the type of spy technology they're suspected of having... Then we have "Intel" being used to get "intel" for the "intel" agencies... Or, the "intel" agencies using "Intel" to get "intel"... (Are these two institutions - or, have they become, with this - the same?!) Knowing that, according to official history, "Intel" stands for "Integrated Electronics", it still is a most interesting coincidence. Specially, since Google is known to be a NSA/CIA front company (http://english.pravda.ru/opinion/columnists/17-06-2013/124841-google_cia_nsa-0/ + http://www.prisonplanet.com/group-calls-for-hearings-into-google%E2%80%99s-ties-to-cia-and-nsa.html) And, even more interesting, when this last company's name comes from the term "googol" - chose to mean something like "infinity", "omniscience", or "unlimited access to knowledge or information".
Re: [Trisquel-users] The NSA and the likes do use radio waves to get inside someone's computer, through the use of "spy hardware"
No. Googlo is not infinity, it is an unimaginable large number "examplified". Moreover, it is used to teach the difference between infinity and a number which is so large you can't imagine or write it; that's not infinity.

Re: [Trisquel-users] The NSA and the likes do use radio waves to get inside someone's computer, through the use of "spy hardware"
Yes.
I was talking about the reason for choosing such a term for the company's
name - and, not the exact meaning of the term. Which I said it wasn't that,
exactly - but, that it was chosen to mean "something like" that.
("Infinity", "omniscience" and "no limits" are obvious unreachable
impossibilities. But, that doesn't mean that they can't be used as
metaphorical descriptions and as the goal in sight(?) (pardon my English) -
like the case of "perfection".)
I guess that, instead of "chosen to mean something like", I should have
written "chosen to mean towards/approaching", instead, to better explain
myself, using more exact mathematical terms, then...
(http://www.mathsisfun.com/calculus/limits-infinity.html)
Thank you for your explanation. I never got to that type of mathematics in
University, and it's an interesting lesson.
