Being extremist particulary in the case of Free Software ain't such a bad
thing! Yes, the word extremist might sound intriguing to some people but that
might be a good thing. You see, people might be interested to know more about
the movement if we continuously strive to make our views heard

Yea- I wasn't even thinking about the ATOM CPU being a bottleneck although
that is probably going to be an issue here too.
So we discontinued the original Penguin Wee because it had an ATOM that
wasn't adequate for the job. It would run Trisquel 6 mind you- but slowly.
The full thing or a lighter version?
Trisquel 6 does probably use a bit less ram so it might work a bit
longer/better than some other distributions although I'd still be hesitant to
state 1GB is adequate.
I believe 1GB is still adequate if your running a modern distribution with a

longer to load bitcoin-qt), but the bottleneck is the Atom processo

Yes, they go to the extreme of saying
I would say that an extremist goes to the extreme or promoting open
source saying that it does not apply in certain cases. They go from one
extreme to the other. They do no not have a stable position. Hence they
are extremists.

Unfortunately this confusion is very bad.
If you try to use Debian GNU/Hurd (it has nothing of Linux) the first thing
you see is "GNU Hurd is not Linux!!".
All this for nobody say "Hey! I'm using this new version of "Linux" called
"Hurd"".
It's very crazy but not impossible :-)
Because the system is GNU. (GNU is Not Unix)
Try to use GNU + Hurd or Darwin or kFreeBSD or kNetBSD.
Is the same system you use. Probably you can't see the difference.
Stallman insists on calling the system GNU/Linux because many 'Linux' users
have never heard of GNU or free software.
I'm probably less hardcore about it than most of the members here. I love
the philosophy, and believe it deserves support. As such, Trisquel is a
great operating system for me, as it's very polished and relatively easy for
a novice to use. However, if Trisquel did not exist, I would probab

The way the writer on that blog, as well as many other 'Linux' users talk
about Linus Torvalds being the project leader of 'Linux', It makes me wonder
how they can do so much running only a kernel. :-)
What I gathered from the 'Linux Extremism' article was: throw away your
values about freedom so we can innovate; to advance 'Linux'.
I doubt that anyone would self-identify as an "extremist." It's just that we
care about software freedom and think that the term "open source" doesn't
adequately convey the idea of freedom.
I wouldn't call myself an extremist, since I make compromises like using
a gmail account, facebook, twitter, and a news agrigator with restricted
access to print-disabled persons.
Given that source code availability is a necessary condition for some of
the "four freedoms", I consider free soft
