It's probably not his home address. I'd assume this is his work address or
business mailing address only. It looks as though he set things up
properly/professionally. Trisquel is a registered trademark, has a bank

What you can do in VirtualBox is create a new VM and then use the .vmdk as

Originally, I had Windows dual-booted, but I didn't use it for months and had

As far as I understand, the development of a new version of Trisquel only
starts when the related Ubuntu version is released: focusing on LTS would not
bring it earlier. As for backports, I believe the only ones Trisquel have are

Exactly! Count the licenses of installed software on any GNU system and the

Ok, recorded.
In my humble view RHEL is a "Linux" because it is almost entirely free
software. The fact it has the Linux kernel is almost unimportant. When people
say "Linux" they are not referring to the kernel. They are referring to a set
of components which are free software. Those components are not al
I count GNU as being something you can't remove without making your system
unusable, and a low level program is a requirement for that. Open Synaptic,
and try to remove the package libc-bin. You will get a nice warning that it
can break your system.
Try to remove libgcc1 aswell. And coreuti
So low level programs ?
without glibc, a UNIX-like can't be named GNU/Linux ?
With glibc, a program can be compilate to dialoging with the kernel.
So without glibc, a GNU/Linux system can not exist without an alternative.
If i am right, i understand better why GNU/Linux.
In my understanding, it is mainly coreutils (bash and command line tools) and
glibc.
Okay, so a RHEL is a GNU/Linux because it has components GNU. Which are they
?
What is the difference about a HP-UX, or a Solaris system with a GNU/Linux ?
Which component makes a GNU + Linux kernel a GNU/Linux ?

I'm not sure what you are trying to achieve. You can use the -d option with
apt-get to download the packages without installing.
You can open DEB packages with an archive manager, such as File Roller
(installed by default). By examining the files in a DEB you can understand
what the package does. linux-libre32_3.6.2_i386.deb is a virtual package that
depends on linux-image-3.6.2-gnu-686, which can be found it

Hehe, I was a caveman too once. Live and learn they say. And I agree you're

But, i could not find how to get real deb file from his repository (direct

Distribution through apt-get & just normal download have different author
permissions? I mean, am i wrong to assume it is okay to get deb file from
