To be perfectly clear, it's no more free than the regular DVD. It still
includes Flash and recommends a lot of proprietary software via the repo
(since it's the same repo).
It seems that convenience and popularity has been prioritized over freedom
and privacy on this list. It would be fair to every one on that list if it
was alphabetical.
It's the same repos as the regular DVD. The only difference is it doesn't
include the software for playing patented formats on the live medium. They
have this ISO as an option because it can be more freely distributed by
others.

There aren't many differences between litecoin and bitcoin. The main
difference is that there is 4 times as many litecoins to be mined as
bitcoins. This means they are more common for the most part. As for mining,
litecoins are more memory-consuming, while bitcoins are more
processing-power

economics unfortunately, but what are the advantages of litecoin over
