[Trisquel-users] Antwort: Any of you use Docker?

2014-05-26 Thread holger . beetz
Well, when it comes to down to docker the technical base seems either to be  
LXC or Virtual Box / Vagrant. So if the Ubuntu "base version" used for  
Trisquel Version X supports LXC, Trisquel should support Docker as well.


From the typical use case perspective speaking one must ask himself if Docker  
is oversized, since LXC is really nice. Docker adds a lot of features but  
also  a lot of overhead.

For modifying the wallpaper, search engines, etc. you could start with a  
fresh installation and make the customizations and then copy the dotfiles  
onto the squashfs image on the cd.

I do not think (s)he plans to distribute the software by himself/herself but  
rather to use Trisquel's (mirrored) repositories that already allow to  
download the source code in a convenient way (through APT). If I guess right,  
there is nothing to worry about.


Something that may be worth worrying about is the old hardware that will run  
Trisquel. A simple "policy" would be:


1 GB of RAM or more: Trisquel (GNOME Edition);
Less than 1 GB of RAM: Trisquel Mini.


@luckygrl: would you please understand tell Trisquel's future users that they  
will receive GNU/Linux (rather than only Linux, a kernel). It is the correct  
name for the whole operating system and important for them to understand they  
deserve freedom in their computing life:  
https://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html


I wish a lot of success for this admirable endeavor.

Quiliro, on the http://gtkpod.org homepage, it says:

"The ipod nano 5th generation works if one song is added with itunes first"

Did you try downloading the latest version of gtkpod?  
(http://gtkpod.org/index.php?title=Download) The version in Trisquel's  
repositories appears to be 2.1.1, and the latest version is 2.1.4.

Cool, thanks for the info. I don't know if Ubuntu (and therefore trickle down  
to Trisquel) is going to keep up to date with Docker in the official 14.04  
repos, but I may end up playing with that version or grab via the official  
repos via http://docs.docker.io/installation/ubuntulinux/


There's a lot on my plate these days, but I look forward to giving Docker a  
try! :-)

Hello! You're allowed to make all those changes and even sell it as Trisquel  
consists entirely of free software.


What is required of you as you distribute the result is that you follow the  
license terms of the packages that constitute Trisquel. The GNU General  
Public License (GNU GPL) under which much of the packages are requires that  
you make the source code available. (Version 2 of the license gives you less  
options how to provide the source than version 3 so linking to v2.)

https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html#section2

There might be other requirements.

Trisquel is free software, so of course you can modify it and give away  
copies.
For complying with the FSDG, all you have to do is release all of your  
modifications under a free license


[Trisquel-users] Giving Away Trisquel?

2014-05-26 Thread susanbryce11
Hello, I need some advice please. Work for a charitable org and over the past  
few months we gave away some 20,000 copies of Linux Mint, Ubuntu which were  
given out to people in poverty areas of some poorer countries we operate in.  
These people were using old computers with Windows XP and had no money to  
upgrade, so after myself becoming a Linux convert only some six months ago it  
was a big help to do the giveway. We budgeted to give away 100,000 copies,  
but I have put a hold on everything as I would like now to make some changes.  
After doing a lot of research I found Trisquel which may be ideal for what im  
seeking, so thought I eould post and hope someone can please advice. We would  
like to make a more local version of the Linux we are distributing that would  
include changing the name to a local name, such as the local region, and  
changing the wallpaper image to local images, adding links to local search  
engine and charities, etc and probably several other changes that would  
create a local friendly version of what we are giving away. I should point  
out we are giving the disks away for FREE, not selling anything. So, could  
anyone advice if Im ok in using the Trisquel distro and making the above  
changes and if so, what other things would I need do to comply with Linux  
guidlines, etc.


any advice much appreciated,

Thankyou.

Hi,

Just saw your emails now - they were hiding in the spam folder.

Cheers for helping me sort this out - I'll have another go at getting my bank  
to set up an international transfer shortly. (I didn't want to confirm the  
order until I was sure that I'd be able to get the money transferred.)


It seems that their online transfer form only accepts basic latin characters,  
so I hope you don't mind if "Mostiștea" becomes "Mostistea" somewhere along  
the line...
