Trisquel 5.5 uses GNOME's fallback mode by default, which uses Metacity as a window manager. Mutter isn't even installed by default.

Hope it is useful to those who want to protect their privacy t3g: if you are not in that group, or don't understand that some users may need this tools, then shut up. Also, you should give your opinion without calling names.

There he is! I know you say it is a privacy thing but you are still using someone else's IP address so if you do something bad, it traces back to an innocent person who takes the fall for you. I guess that makes it private for the person using Tor at the expense of someone else. Classy.

Who said I didn't understand the issue? I understand completely what Tor is and have used the browser bundle in the past so there is no need for you to attempt to talk down to me. If Tor was a better method and didn't need you to piggy back on someone else's IP, then we would have a true

quidam is right: you do not understand the issue. Any idea how Syrian opponents communicate to groups such as Telecomix? Of course, from the point of view of the Bachar al-Assad, this is highly unethical...

I see the benefit of getting and viewing information like reading a blocked website (like if you are in China) or viewing the BBC iPlayer outside of the UK because it is pure consumption. No one should be denied information and even if they did track the IP, they would assume the UK user was

You did not lose me. Having done much research on DRM and Trusted Computing, I am quite aware my custom-build cannot avoid all hardware-based DRM. What a custom-build can do is avoid majority of it, and through erasing all software-based DRM that one can, most of the unavoidable

I have to agree with the others here. If all you want is fun games, and free (as in price) software. Then that has nothing to do with Free Software or its movement. Its gratis, and that really helps no one. But to be fair, I first started using GNU/Linux back when when all I knew was I

The issue with Stallman speaking out against Valve games and non-free games in general is that he is considered a celebrity within the computer world and can get the attention of a tech writer. He knows this and in his head he thinks that if he speaks out and whines enough, that he can tell
