Sounds familiar. It took me hours to get xorg.conf working on my gNewSense

How long ago was that? Because those issues don't occur for me on newer
operating systems like Trisquel 5.0+.
FWIW I'll add my opinion on licensing:
I'll accept any Free Software license. If two similar software packages are
licensed under permissive and copyleft licenses, I'll choose the best one in
terms of quality.

Some argue XFS to be more robust file system than EXT4.
EXT4 can be faster when dealing with small files. XFS can be faster with big
files.
You can search for XFS vs EXT4 performance benchmarks from www.phoronix.org.
In the end it doesn't matter much which you chose because both are very goo
ext4 and xfs are different file systems for formatting a storage device. The
actual differences between the two are pretty technical, and not particularly
relevant for average users. If you want to know more, try reading the
Wikipedia pages for ext4 and xfs.

I then re-installed it as a duel boot on an ext 4 partition.
So My questions are :-

is its opinion (from the same article as earlier):
If your project is a library, and developers are already using an established
alternative library released under a nonfree or permissive license, then we

You did not get the FSF opinion quite right. It is not about preferring a

The strength of using a permissive license is using it for software that will
be used as libraries and be linked to from both free and propreitary

Sorry for my mistake. To be honest I was very surprise to see Free Software
developed by Apple.
IM software are not reducible to the format used for audio encryption, i.e.,
Pidgin and Skype can use the same audio codec yet not be compatible. There
is, in particular, a whole protocol on top of the codecs.
And? I used CUPS before 2007 in Gentoo. It worked well. Was it developed by
Apple, and what part of they invented?
Look, if I remember correctly both machines I set up showed similar
behaviour:
Both have PATA drives, had already Linux installed and a pre-partitioned
drive.
Generating one preformated ext3 partition on the HDD "solved" the issue.

Hi, this is a very interesting topic.. H-node is born with the aim of

information useful for the free software community. Many other steps have to be

We should distinguish between sellers and vendors. At h-node.
You are entirely right except for the second point.
A GPL code cannot be integrated (even by linkage) to a non-GPL application.
An LGPL code can be linked to any other code but the changes to the actual
LGPL code must be under this same LGPL license. This make sense when making a
