Thank you very much for this. As VirtualBox isn't working anymore with
Trisquel, this was badly needed.
Bitmessage runs like a charm for me on Trisquel.

Cygwin is mostly free. It has several packages with freedom issues which is
why I mentioned it was non-free; see here: http://www.cygwin.com/packages/

At this point, it can't. It would require an overhaul of the entire system.
If you find design flaws in free software, then it can be improved.
You seem to have forgotten that proprietary software can be functional and
user-friendly, too.
From an ethical perspective, I'm not sure it's right to say good things about
proprietary software, whether or not those things are true. I fail to see
how what you've said can benefit us in any way.
The pictures on the fonts page should be attached to the wiki, not on

Trisquel can do things with freedom.
The best way is migrate from proprietary applications to free as in freedom
applications. After this everybody can use Trisquel without problems.

I followed your suggetions, but the same error message appeared again.
First make sure that you have all the dependencies by typing this command in

Now, type this command all on one line:
git clone https://github.com/Bitmessage/PyBitmessage ~/PyBitmessage

I think it's mostly things that windows 7 HAS and trisquel does not. Such as
DRM. I once tried to transfer a file from a computer to a external hdd.
Windows did not let me, because the file had microsoft DRM.
Trisquel is faster, easier to install, you can change gui a lot more easily.
@Dave_Hunt:
"alacarte" is the software behind "Main Menu".
@Milandini:
It seems that there is a huge misunderstanding. Alacarte (Main Menu) is a
menu editor which can be used for editing menu entries but GnoMenu is
intended for replacing the menu itself.
its probabaly the same as WTFPL which is fsf approved, but not osi approved.
Hi again,
Thanks very much Dave. Good to know as I like to help out and test Trisquel
any way I can.
Also according to Andrew above, one can still upgrade from 6.0 by typing the
following into a terminal:
'apt-get update' and 'apt-get dist-upgrade'
Is this still true?

On this[0] page, it says the add-on is derived from bitcoin-prices, another

6.0.1 is 6.0, but with all updates as of 25-August, 2013, and privacy bugs

Something Trisquel doesn't have that Windows 7 does is Digital Restrictions
Management, but that is a good thing, as DRM is an antifeature.
