Indeed, I'm thinking of seeking legal advice, but this isn't priority right now for me, just for a driver license, that might take months to come, and money which I don't have. :) I'd rather get a fixed/guaranteed job first before even thinking on seeking lawyers and driver licenses. Frankly, the

Interesting, to compare, as much as I love dmenu, I feel dwm is not as good as i3wm (a typical case of extreme minimalism that hardens usablity/possibilities). That's not an issue regarding Firefox though, plus I get that your point was about the Philosophy. Just sharing a thought :) I tota

trisquel is not a mainstream distro, you can't expect to have hundreds of programmers fixing everything. It takes a lot of time. Belenos is a awesome distro, and I am hoping Flida will be as good, maturation is a important role in the production of anything that is good. Or maybe I'm just say

I own a galaxy s2 with replicant. My demands are quite low, but still, to be completely honest, i wished for a bit more modern device... It's a pain to look up directions, typing is not a lot of fun and among all the kids with their latest iphones, you sure look like a dinosaur. Nevertheless,

The S3 offers the benefit of a bigger screen and better hardware, e.g. camera. Unfortunately it comes with the disadvantage of slower response (e.g. to swipes, touches etc)

Thanks. I could have checked that myself, but often I am uncertain of what to look for and if I find it, I often don't understand it anyway! But backporting wasn't hard to understand.

Following the links about xfce, it says that If you are running Trisquel, it is strongly suggested to use a package manager like aptitude or synaptic to download and install packages, instead of doing so manually via this website. You should be able to use any of the listed mirrors by add

That is right. Yes: to get backported packages, remove the "#", save the file, and use the "Update Manager" (or 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade' if you prefer the terminal). No: keep the other lines as they are!
