Hi there! So [http://zareason.com/shop/Alto-3880.html this machine]. That intel wireless card will not work with free software (while the driver might be free, the firmware isn't). On the other hand, you can only get 3D with intel video cards, so you could ask them if they could swap the

Did you have a look at the laptops available at ThinkPenguin? All of their hardware is 100% supported by free software and you should be able to get a similarly spec'ed laptop from them.

Right! But forget vimeo and other streaming web site. There is only youtube that works with free software. But i feel ok with this. I just don't visite web sites that doen't support free format. I encourage you to give a try to Gnu/Linux Trisquel's way of life and to be part of the solution!

VRMS uses the Debian definitions of free software, not FSFs, so it's relatively useless for now. But how hard can it be to patch it, to comply to Trisquels philosophy? In concept VRMS is a funny little program, especially if combined with that one command that outputs a cow saying something.

Hi lembas, that was on PartedMagic, a non-free distro which I use once a week because of the damn Adobe Flash Player® in which I got my lessons. This option doesn't appear on Trisquel's LiveCD. My notebook's sound chip is an Intel Cantiga HDMI, and I don't know if there is 100% Free
