I couldn't help but reply to this, I still find you suspicious because the
fact is you don't even use trisquel, you use debian and installed
proprietary video drivers. And you promote these things to people on the irc
channel. You're a hypocrite, and I agree that was no way to reply to the
It's also a good way to reduce perceived demand for free software-compatible
computers, and a good way to let the few libre computer vendors there are to
die out. If you can afford it, buy from Minifree or Thinkpenguin. Support the
movement.
I don't think it's correct to say that IceCat has been abandoned, but yes,
using it is a security risk. I've switched back to Abrowser, personally.
It seems the project may have been abandoned and they aren't patching
security fixes. If you're using IceCat you are likely at risk...

I'll try that thanks.
I don't think they offer laptops but here is a relatively new Portuguese
company that support free software. So it's not all bad in Portugal.

I second this. Buying second-hand is a good way to NOT give Microsoft your
money.
i recently got a laptop from a online auction website for £25
and then £3.50 for an extra 2GB of RAM to make it work well
it works fine with trisquel and can play games like teeworlds minetest etc
so i recommend buying second hand laptops
It ultimately depends on what you need to do. If you don't need hardware
acceleration for graphics (which 3-D games, modern desktop environments, and
tools related to working with 3-D will run more slowly without), most of them
will basically work. However, it's highly unlikely that WiFi will
all stores in Portugal sell laptops with windows.
shameful and a clear violation of European laws and market monopolization .
the consumer has no alternative or choice .
I wanted to buy the cheapest laptop possible compatible with trisquel.
if possible to be commercialized in Portugal or in Europe.
Thank you for your help .
Yeah, I think this is the recent Firefox feature of refusing to install
add-ons that aren't signed by Mozilla. I guess it wasn't disabled properly.
The way I worked around it was to download the add-on with wget and then open
it with Abrowser; it seems to treat add-ons from the local system d
Whenever I try to install a new addon for Abrowser I get this message:
"Trisquel.info: Abrowser prevented this site from asking you to install
software onto your computer".
I have tried adding trisquel.info and adblockplus.org (the addon I was trying
to download) to the allowed sites as wel
Update: I'm still encountering the same issue, i'll get around it eventually.
How can anyone be sure if a proprietary OS or application is not malicious?
You have absolutely no control over it and you can not possibly know if it is
malicious software - you can not read the code. You can trust proprietary
software only by blind faith.. I like RMS' definition: computing f

This forum is about Trisquel. I have not quite got your 64-on-32-on-64-bit
story but Trisquel's installer should do do the right thing. There is a high
probability that the Wifi will not work. You can use Ethernet or to waste a
USB port to plug a Wifi adapter from http://libre.thinkpenguin.co
no need to be offensive strypey. If you don't like or understand my posts
ignore them, just as I mostly ignore yours.
I'm glad that helped :)
I am using UNetbootin because I wasn't aware of the "dd" method you suggest.
Thanks for the link, I'll have a go with that.
That said, I'm now confident enough to experiment with terminal commands, and
I have enough experience (not to mention patience) to figure out a way of

Either I have no idea how to access it or this is only true for certain pods.
I'm pretty sure the pod I'm on is up-to-date.
