The reason RMS uses gNewSense is because he has a [http://stallman.org/stallman-computing.html lemote laptop] which contains a non x86 (MIPS I believe) architecture. Trisquel does not have a MIPS version so he can't install it on his computer. I believe he uses it since it has no nonfree

I'm not sure, but it seems there's something wrong with the file system you're trying to mount. What type is the file system you are trying to mount? You can check with Disk Utility, which comes preinstalled with Trisquel. My guess is that the file system is XFS. I haven't used XFS, but if

That's a silly question, t3g. You know this is a community that follows FSF guidlines, so I don't know why you always sling anti-rms poop around, and suggest games ought to be able to be made proprietary. I don't see why game developers would be excluded for being required to respect our

For a newbie Free Software supporter, I can only recommend to install Trisquel with Gnome, and concerning your hardware, there is a web page, where you can check whether your wifi card is compatible with the libre kernel. Here is the link: http://www.h-node.org/ When starting with 100%

Hi all, I find it interesting that no-one replied to my initial mail/posting. Anyway, seems not to be much interest in the general gaming performance of Trisquel with free games on free drivers. The latest Phoronix benchmarks confirmed my estimation that even a dog old card like my

Hi, When Trisquel 6.0 comes out, it should have a talking light dm. If you've been following the Orca list, you may know that my light dm talked exactly once, but, this is something peculiar to my machine, as it works for all those other blind Ubuntu 12.04 users. Hopefully, by the time

I believe that card is not compatible. There are a few versions of it and one of them will work... although it is more expensive. Using a USB wifi card to solve the non-free driver issue with an internal card should generally speaking work.

Nobody here is going to recommend installation of a non-free driver/firmware or help you with it. The primary benefit of Trisquel is freedom. If you are really following the free software philosophically rather than the open source philosophy the non-free option isn't an option. If you are
