After the October seven's update it's impossible to install or to update the

Are others users having the same problem?
I need this kernel for running the ethernet.
My ISP blocks ports so I cannot host servers... apparently this is a fairly
common practice. So you need to find out if your ISP is on this racket as
well and if they are, perhaps you need to buy another connection type which
allows servers.
This whole blocking ports thing is horrible becau

to start your own service (or server), you obviously need a computer.
Basically any computer will do, which works even acceptably on free software.
The network interface is the most crucial part, and you need a way to control
that computer. This means, that just about any computer will do. I'

The Bochs / Qemu VGA BIOS is free (LGPL).

I checked the license of the i128 driver in the Trisquel repo and it is also
free.
Duly backed, thanks Chris.
I could put the pngs into LibreOffice Writer. But Writer has the white-space
border around the image. I can stretch the image to cover that border, but I
don't know how to stretch it "to scale". the png gets distorted either
vertically or horizontally when I do this.
I think they could have planned the whole campaign much better.
A potential backer visits the website and thinks the same like me:

fails
2. The goal is extremly high, it's a

I have three landscape-oriented png images. They're each something like 1700
x 1200.
Can put them into a three-page pdf document? I'd like to keep the image

Is there a program that will do this?

Maybe so but what's the Chinese government going to do to me or you? I'm much
more worried about the US gov.
Intentionally crippling is bad, but these drivers are proprietary anyway, so
they shouldn't be used in the first place. At the same time, if people get
angry that they are being intentionally crippled, that could get "open
source" proponents to work harder towards getting fully free drivers a
Free hardware is useless at the moment. We have to wait till technology is
good enough so we can make our own hardware or make sure the micro-circuits
look really the way they should do.
If you buy hardware labeled free, no one can check if it doesn't contain
malicious circuits.

Now here is a positive example why to use the free driver and not the binary
