I'll take you up on that Heather.
I'll go ahead and grab the latest of each version (32 and 64bit) over the
next couple of days. It will certainly take that long judging by the upload
speed of the devel server. :-|I have the 64 bit of Trisquel 7 proper

Ice cat/A-Browser where clean (it would be somewhat worring if they where
not),
I'm more worried for other users that care about proprietary formats yet not
in the 100% free software camp.
Sorry for the slow respobse to this thread I started but have only now got
time to again work on this project. Im only planning on giving away the

be using Trisquel's (mirrored) repositories.
So if im only just
Thankyou, I will most certainly place GNU/Linux on the cover of the disk.
Hello there,
I`m a recently new user of trisquel and I must say it is a great piece of
software, first because it RESPECTS-YOUR-FREEDOM!!!, and furthermore because
is works really nice.
I have a question regarding RYF devices Software. I wonder, Is there a RYF

You don't have to publish any source code because all of it is in Trisquel's
repos. However, if someone would prefer source on a physical disk, you have
to give it to them. On the other hand, if the
As I've said above, though, unsupported is different from impossible to use:)
Yes. It seems that many companies such as NetGear are willing to GPL code,
but that is never a fully working unit. There is always some component/piece
missing.
There needs to be more com
gNewSense seems to use mate (or maybe gnome 2); I heard that mate is a little
easier on older hardware.
I remember reading that there's no benefit in switching to mate if the
programs rely on gnome3 anyway. Is that correct? I may be totally wrong.
I'm thinking of giving gNewSense a try
Usually they release it only to comply with the GPL, I think.
gNewSense 3.1 (the latest version) uses the antique GNOME 2.30 (it must be
something like four years old) by default. Like its base: Debian 7.0 wheezy.
If you have older hardware, I would advise the soon-to-be-released Trisquel

Do current versions of programs require a more current version of gnome to
run? So gNewSense 3.1 will only run years-old versions of programs?
I am simply talking about the versions of the packages in gNewSense's
repositories: GNOME 2.30, Firefox 3.5, LibreOffice 3.2, etc. If you want to
know about other applications, look at their versions in Debian stable:

I thought gNewSense 3.1 is based on Debian 6.0 squeeze.
Oh I understand now -- thanks MB. I will take your advice and use Mini if I
need a lighter system down the road.
I wanted to try gNewSense for the nostalgic gui, and the possibility of
getting a little more battery life out of my laptop. My laptop handles
standard Trisquel fine though,
Trisquel 7 seems mostly pretty good to me, but I would caution people who are
thinking about installing it as a main OS.
GNU Cash doesn't work properly in Trisquel 7 yet, and I had a little trouble
with Add/Remove Programs. I recommend checking the Issues page and asking
about your

The system update (Trisquel 7) gave me a new start-up and log-in background.
It's pretty.
I read this recently. It looks like the FSF is getting involved with doing
exactly this. Sorry you will not be able to buy it tomorrow.

Wow I really missed that development. Great to see FSF take on a big task
like this.
OK, thanks! So I have another question too—I'm still a bit new with this.
Some time ago, I managed to install Trisquel 6.0 on my Macbook Air, dual
boot, via reEFit.
Similarly, I'd like to install a pre-release of Trisquel on an older MacBook
