I've got Trisquel 7 running perfectly on a Dell Precision Workstation 390. No
extra blobs required and yes, I've submitted it to h-node. Other than adding
a new SATA DVD drive and an SSD primary HD, it's default hardware.
Intel Core 2 Duo 64bit

NVIDIA Quadro 2000

Why? All you're doing is advertising for Dell. And Amazon. Anyone who really
wants to go through the hassle of buying stuff that happens to work from
uncooperative and hostile companies can look on h-node. Same goes for those
looking for second-hand computers that will work OK.
All I'm doing is helping people who are looking for a platform that works
with libre-software.
Dell are to be praised for releasing such hardware, even if it was done
unknowingly. They might not be the most ideal Corporation and I think I've
made it fairly clear in other posts what my
Provided they can sell you the machine free of a proprietary operating system
then it is not so bad, that said I'm pretty sure that they have little to no
knowledge of support for fully Free operating systems.
That said it is a great start for a product list in terms of building a home
Take a look at h-node; *all* companies selling huge amounts of computers have
a small selection of computers that work almost perfectly with libre
software. Heck, I think you're talking about desktop computers, aren't you?
If you don't need wireless for your desktop computer, which is a
Also, I think Dell is one of the companies that intentionally attacks freedom
by restricting what wireless cards can be used in the computers they sell.
To be fair it's not that difficult to look for Libre-software-compatible
desktop machines.
Amazon!

Just like you're not fine if you include a proprietary ppa in trisquel.
The problem with Debian's non-free repository isn't that it exists, it's that
the official Debian documentation gives instructions for how to enable it and
otherwise refers to it. In other words, the non-free repository is not
separated from Debian thoroughly enough.
I don't know how to help you with this problem, but someone else may be able
to help you if you state the problem more clearly. You seem to be stressed
out, understandably. I gather that you don't know how/if you can retrieve
your data, but the post is hard for me (and probably others) to
If a person wants to install non free software, she finds lots of ways on the
internet to do so.
I don't see any practicle difference if it is offered by debian instead of
somebody else.
The truth is: most people won't stop using every piece of proprietary
software even if they are
The workaround is really easy, but hopefully it's enabled by default in the
final version.
And yet again I am not surprised yet very concerned with just how deep the
NSA's fear of people goes.
If a person wants to install non free software, she finds lots of ways on
the internet to do so.
Exactly, so there's no need for the Debian Project to do so.
I don't see any practicle difference if it is offered and documented by
debian instead of somebody else.
