As you know, iWork for the Mac doesn't save in OpenDocument format and the
.pages format is pretty much unreadable by anyone that doesn't have the
software. If you happen to come across this format, you may get lucky if you
open up the file as a .zip file and can extract a PDF preview. Of

@Relevation:
krdc is a client for the VNC and M$ RDP protocols. This requires a
corresponding server on the machine you want to connect to. For jrdesktop I
guess it boils down to the old problem - you have to configure the router of
the person you want to connect to.
I just read a story at
http://www.businessinsider.com/ibm-cisco-red-hat-sap-join-forces-to-combat-amazons-cloud-success-2012-1
about why Amazon, Apple and Microsoft are locking people into their cloud.
They don't want you to easily switch to a competitor and you are locked into

Yeah,this kind of news is troublesome. That's why its so important to do
what we can to support free software. Trisquel and the other libre distros
are doing an awesome job in keeping the choice of free computing alive.
Stallman and others have done a lot. I likely wouldn't have even known
Just became a member too! I have been using trisquel for around 4 month and I
am loving it so far. I have tried various other completely free distributions
but trisquel by far blows them out of the water. That is why I want to invest
in the future of this wonderful distribution.
I cannot
I am an apply convert - and I used iWork for quite some time. I have always
been frustrated with the blatant incompatibility that the program has with
anything other than iWork. At my school we are forced to use MS word for
various statistical applications (Excel + Macros) because the
Any reason why Thunderbird's version in Trisquel's dagda repository is

be a special case (Trisquel already provides the latest version of
The situation you described about your professor shows that vendor lock-in
starts at the schools. Microsoft and Apple know this and why they push so
hard to give schools discounts with their software if money is an issue.
Whether it is kindergarten or grad school, the staff is trained on the
I agree and its a real shame that this is the way things are. The sad thing
is that the subject we are working on (Physics Lab) is interesting, and
useful. We are using Excel in ways that I didn't even know existed. But there
is absolutely no reason why this cannot be done in any other

there doesn't seem to be any software which uses a server to avoid the router
configuration to begin with.
My university education was in English Lit, so I'm not too familiar with
macros in Excel for Physics. On the other hand if I was a teacher, I would
offer my students a copy of a free word processor (either LibreOffice or
Abiword) to do their papers in if they didn't have Office. If I was a
We have had inquires about tablets in the past and are in a position to
release one. The question I have for Trisquel community is would you want
one?
We would probably be looking at the following specifications:
10.1 LED Capacitive Multi-Touch Display
Intel® Atom™ Processor N450 1.66GHz
I would get one today if it was around.
It would be great to have a tablet running Trisquel!
As far as features go, I would definantly want an SSD, wifi obivously,
and a long battery life (at least 5 hours).
I would primarily use it for reading and light web browsing so it would
not need to
If anyone is looking for a cheap wifi card for their notebook I would
recommend the NETGEAR WG111v2. I checked on h-node before I bought it and I
was able to find it on ebay for $9.
I popped it into my dell Latitude D430 and it worked right away.
Signal is good and speed is just fine (its a
I just took a quick look. There are multiple revisions of that v2 card. They
may not all work. That is the problem with these lists. While it may work you
don't know what chipset is actually in the card and it isn't clear.
Hello Chris.
I found a tablet with similar specifications (running Ubuntu) here:

The prices for the atom tablets are much higher than the regular Android
tablets offered, so perhaps ARM would be preferable (assuming you can get all
the needed
We could probably ship it with Trisquel given it is x86 although Trisquel
isn't a tablet OS. I'm not sure how well it would work.
We would probably have a lot of trouble going with ARM for a number of
reasons. I don't believe Trisquel for instance has an ARM port for starters.
We would prefer not use Android as it is laden with non-free pieces. There
may be some other options out there for ARM although the amount of

Realistically since Trisquel takes the 32 and 64 bit versions of Ubuntu and
adds their own flavor, how much work would it take to apply that same
methodology
