Assuming there is nothing special about it and Trisquel works like any other
x86 system there shouldn't be a problem upgrading. I don't know if its fully
supported now though. There may be bugs here or there pertaining to this
system.
Lets say a corporation, individual, or state wants access to John's data.
Especially since the passing of the Patriot Act there is zero privacy from
the state. And you will not be notified and a gag order is placed to prevent
anybody from telling you.
Did you try doing what it suggests?
Any way to guarantee that a PPA is fully free/libre software?
Peek in every single file. Unless the source code (is available! and)
displays a FSF approved license, it's not free. Here are the most common free

Wow, thanks! One thing though - This is pretty picky, but I have a couple
different music folders that I'd like to keep the way they are, but have them
intermingle in the tree view. What I mean by this is, if I have a folder for
downloads and one for rips, and I have an Elend folder in

There's no such option. I am on trisquel mini.
Unfortunately, I can't afford this amount of money, though I'm interested.
I think privacy should be available to poor people, too. Perhaps a more
flexible solution will be found.

You are welcome.
I understood what you want, but not exactly: that sorting goes on by the

US laws are already irrelevant...
Since, the laws that are being passed violate the US supreme set of laws,

What the US government can't do legally, it will do illegaly.
