To follow-up, I'm interested in the Epson LQ590 and Okidata Microline 320, but would consider others that might work. Looking for reliability, long print head and ribbon life. I didn't find much on H-node.

[Trisquel-users] fontconfig folder in home folder - safe to delete?

2014-11-19 Thread 555
Upgrading from 6.01 to 7.0 resulted in having the folder: fontconfig within my home folder on two different machines. The contents (***.cache-3 files) haven't changed since the day of installation. What is the purpose of the folder? Is it safe to delete? Thanks!

I use Tor browser bundle (currently version 4.01) for all browsing. Starting it by double-clicking on the start script works fine in Trisquel 6.01 (using it as I type this) and Trisquel 7.0 mini (on a netbook), but not Trisquel 7.0 (on a third computer for testing). With 7.0, the script

Re: [Trisquel-users] FSF and Debian are joining forces to expand and enhance h-node hardware lists

2014-09-12 Thread 555
Sorry, but if ...FSF does not include Debian on this list because the Debian project provides a repository of nonfree software... FSF shouldn't be collaborating with an organization when it cannot (for very good reason) endorse the distribution.

If a distribution (including it's organizing philosophy, access to proprietary resources etc.) isn't absolutely 100% free, it is entirely inconsistent with the guiding principles of free software and we shouldn't be using it or engage in any collaboration with it developers. Period.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Is ClamTk a good package? Should I even bother with anti-viruses?

At the last school where I worked, I was permitted to use my own Trisquel computer in my classroom as long as I could show that it had anti-virus software. Clam TK came in very handy for that (for demonstration purposes only) and I didn't need to bother with the 'we really don't worry about
