It is terrible. It is because I still need to install GNU/Linux-libre on my
other workststation.
GNU/Linux-libre is the best progrmers environment ever. It has the best
cmmand-line ever. And Freedom if course.
I was really thinking about getting this. I am happy that atleast it does not
come with Windows installed!

What is the notebook you are buying?
ReactOS is an Free Software and open-source operating system that is trying
to be compatible with Windows applications. And it does just that.
Of course it is its own OS of its own, and runs very well. It's better than
Windows, if course as it follows my love of Freedom.
Is Netbeans also good? netbeans.org . As there is a plugin for Fortran
support in it. :D

ReactOS is designed to use proprietary drivers made for Windows, so I don't
know if it's possible to use it as a completely libre system in practice.
Besides, most Windows applications are built with proprietary software (e.g.
Visual C++), so even if you do get libre drivers for your hardware
Oh okay.
Down with ReactOS then.
javascript required just to display the website..
I always React badly to that OS!
Windows has libre programs but not many.
I found solution which is working:-
first of all it was my mistake that I created `~/.Xcompose` instead of
`~/.XCompose`
Install uim (Universal Input Method)
Add `export GTK_IM_MODULE="uim"` to `~/.profile`
Restart the gnome-session
Now custom compose key sequence defined in `~/.XCompose` i
Netbeans is good.
Under normal conditions I would recommend emacs but I have to admit that it
needs time to get used to.

Thank you.
Thank you though.
What is so bad about JavaScript. Like what can it do, in terms of using it
maliciously.
Yeah and learning keyboard shortcuts isn't what I need right now. I need a
free-typing (free flowing) text editor and compiler and debug log, an IDE.
True DAT.
Can libraries be used in Fortran. As I have seen you can make calls to C
files and get values returned from them (functions) or just call them to run
something (methods).
Without C libraries Fortran seems to be pretty boring as it then relies only
on its rather mathematical built-ins, built

Sorry about this duplicate. I disabled JavaScript for security reasons. But I
see how the positive sides of JavaScript are ueer by Drupal.
Much scam. Such terrible.
Now. What about this NuBSD. Where are the link to this? Or some article at
least?
Quite a lot: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/javascript-trap.html
I don't ever use JavaScript, and I don't have such problems. I think it's
more likely that you're clicking the "save" button twice.
Such scam. Much terrible.
Definitely fishy.
Just from litely reading that I am scared.
But JS is now disabled on my browser.
Thanks.
Yep. That's it. I did click it twice I think.
Not JS probs from being disabled.
Dies anybody know of where you can buy cheap servers. Like even old second

A good idea is to install LibreJS. It's a guarantee that you'll only run free

Thanks; I was just curious, having heard the names of systemd components go

Good point. But I want mega performance.
You have conflicting requirements: “cheap” and “mega performance”.
Also: don't forget about freedom: not all computers allow the user to make
full use of them with a fully free system; you must deliberately make sure

It's better to use nmap locally.
That is right. However, I want to make clear that I didn't suggest to search
for “works with Linux” as if it was a magical string (I know that your
comment doesn't explicitly says that). My suggestion was “research whether
it works with free software”, and I did not give any specific procedur
Good point. Freedom shall be the first aspect I look for.
Thanks ;D
Good point. Okay. Well I need old hardware then. Like old PC's. gNewSense
works on my old PC in terms of networking , both wireless and wired. Hence
the older machines have Free Software drivers, most of the time as compared
to newer systems which only have proprietary drivers.
That sounds awesome.
I can't comment on the idea that old hardware is more likely to work with
free system than old hardware. In any case, I recommend you to do your best
to determine whether a computer will work well in a fully free system before
purchasing it; I recently wrote a short message about that (the wh

As a side note, LibreJS has caused a few websites to load very slowly for me.

Hi there! I'd say start with the Synaptic package manager under system
settings. See how things are arranged and what it can do for you. What kind
of packages are offered. Learn about dependencies and how those are
automatically resolved for you. Remove the older kernels you probably have.
