debian testing changes that often?
didn't know that. I Thought it was unstable debian that changed frequently...
Actually debian supports more architectures, so maybe when debian 9 or 10
comes out we should support it.
Especially if my thoughts on that campaign are true.
Here is an interesting interview/demonstration that Luke gave (demo is not
great- if you follow the updates there are better videos of different
aspects, like hardware accelerated playback for video, etc, but ultimately
this video came out pretty good, except for a few rough spots / errors in

really funny - right in a middle of a thunderstorm. weather looked great
when we started... ended up with flash flood alerts! totally cool
"The installer, while only enabling "main", will ask for certain firmware on
removable media that a driver might demand, if that firmware is nonfree, and
not included in the Debian installer. I can confirm that this behaviour
occurs when an Intel wireless card is installed, and I assume this
If you want to go ultra-light and retro, I was able to install Ted on
Belenos:

It saves to .rtf which may be too retro-cutesy for your purposes, but it can
be read on just about anything.
My current PIII has 512 MB of RAM, but Ted was lightweight during the era
when
Regarding documentation, though, I believe that some people file bug reports
on it for recommending bad stuff.
And it is possible that the Debian community may vote on the inclusion of
nonfree and contrib again, as according to Wikipedia they last voted in 2004
(12 years ago).
If they were to
Hmm, I had a decent but brief experience with it. I think it's good for very
old hardware

Abiword is quite bad. I thought it was missing lots of features and was hard
to use.
Maybe someone needs to nuke it and start over.
The most glaring faux pas in the eyes of the FSF is the existence of the
nonfree and contrib repositories, hosted officially by the project. The
documentation specifically says that Debian will support the use of nonfree
software. This means that if the FSF endorsed Debian as it currently sta

Non-free software cannot be *easy* to install.
AKA: If an unaware and non-technical user can clickity-click a button or two
to accidentally install non-free software, it is too easy to install it for
the FSDG.

I wrote fsf. They did not elaborate about
https://www.gnu.org/distros/common-distros.html. It appears that fsf thinks
debian's website is a blend of free and nonfree software which hinders fsf
approval.
That debian during installation may ask for nonfree software is of cource not
acceptable
I installed LibreOffice long time before but its resources consumption is too
much for a computer with only 256 MB RAM (Microsoft Office 2003 uses 32 MB
RAM while LibreOffice uses 100 MB to 200 MB –without using databases
support nor Java-).
If somebody knows other programs group or office
The reason I understood and agreed with Trisquel being base from Ubuntu is
popularity. Ubuntu's popularity is huge. Thanks to that it is easy to find
help and support on the Internet and it's tested by millions.
Another vote for Debian :)
You can test a live USB; no changes are saved. You can then install it later
from that USB. Or just play around with it. The 'mini' image is much more
lightweight. The regular image uses GNOME and is the full experience.
Personally I think the full image will be more to your liking, for testi
I want to get away from Windows and want to use Trisquel beside Windows, on
the same laptop, without installing it to my hard-disk.
I have a fast USB 3.0 stick with 32 GB of space.
Is it better to install Trisquel to a USB stick or is it better to use the
Live version?
What is the difference
oops i meant to say that but for some reason didn't
i edited the comment
Well, since he is almost done with making trisquel 8, i would agree.
but in the future, I would disagree heavily.
ps, I love the avatar you have.
