I don't think that actually self-compiling all the source necessarily follows
from the free software freedom to have it. One small part of Trisquel, the
kernel, passed a million lines of code years ago, so what benefit do you gain
from merely compiling what you are unlikely to have read? Wh
I just opened the link on ThinkPenguin's website:

There seems to be a typo. Trisquel 6.5 is supported but I have no idea when
it will be released :) I'm guessing the card should work out of the box on

IMO, math and function calls definately count as software code.
Besides, the FSF guidelines require that data be licensed to allow commercial
use, and the Frogatto license forbids commercial use.
In Trisquel 6.0 Toutatis I have noticed that the Gnome panel workspace
switcher doesn't really mesh well with compiz. If you know why I'd be happy
to know but otherwise, just a heads up.
This reminds me of "back in the day" when MKV came out and gained traction
due Anime fans loving it for the flexibility of the format (embedded
subtitles and multiple tracks) and distribution on file sharing networks.
I was approximating just having one difference of opinion at once. :-)
Yes, Theology, the study subject, is referred to as a science in older
English (C19 say) texts. However, Quirilo (Q) used the terms religion and
faith in conjunction and they are not scientific by any standard definition.
agreed.
Trisquel should turn it on.
lol, do you find these things in the doc's?
Wow, what a way to hide this nice feature!
Anyway that worked great thank you.
Also,
if you hold Alt (or maybe it's Alt+Super, I'm not sure) and right click
on the panel, you can add a workspace switcher, among other things.
Super + S or Ctrl + Alt + right key.
Super = Command on Apple keyboard or Windows logo
I would like to know how to enable multiple desktop's on trisquel? I've

If I can't I'll just install gnome3
Since port 22(ssh), 445/139 (Samba) are listening on all interfaces and

I guess you have a right to your own definitions. You are playing with

The point is that we can set a set of parameters and define something by

religion is not. If you don't define it that way, that is OK with me.

I absolutely disagree.
Your measurement only works because some people gave a definition of freedom
for some certain cases - very limited ones!
With this definition, you're able to count how many programs fulfil the
requirements - and yes, this is kind of a measurement.
But think of beauty.
Hi

I've tested Cinnamon and KDE in Trisquel and both work fine :-)
In order to install KDE in Trisquel, one needs only to install the "triskel"
metapackage -- which is a bit like installing Kubuntu instead of Ubuntu; on
text-mode installation, one can choose that instead of "trisquel".
A measurement quantifies a certain object or event; it gives them a number in
physical units.
In this sense, you can't quantify the freedom you have;
If this would be possible, you would have to make an action (the measurement)
which gives you back a concrete number. This number would show "yo

Good question. Here's a link to the code on Github:

Well done. There could also be some documentation, you might have to
configure it somehow.
sensors-detect might come handy but don't force it because it could be
dangerous for your hardware!

Hi,
to my best knowledge there is no such thing as a free solution for providing
such functionality as a Tivo.

The free software movement mustn't be satisfied by someone who makes the
