I've noticed on the Debian-security mailing list information about an

Are there any steps that Trisquel users should take to protect
themselves? Is a security update on its way?

Yes, that is unfortunate, especially because both gNewSense and Parabola

That is true, and is due to disagreements between the FSF's definition

Thank you very much for your thoughts. While I'm currently enjoying using Task
Coach (which I also would like to see in the repos if possible), I'll try and
check out todo.txt as well.
I've heard of todo.txt, but didn't try it out, since I wanted to try and keep
to the repos if possible. At the very least I'd like a .deb file. But thank you
for the suggestion. Do you use it personally? Thoughts?
Yes, those are the two programs I was talking about. I did try adding a PPA for
GTG, to see if the latest version would have the features I wanted. However,
despite some improvements, it still wasn't enough for me.

I was wondering if there were any good task manager/to do list programs in

one was quite what I wanted. (GTG doesn't have priorities and Tasque doesn't
have subtasks)
I'm particularly a big fan of the
Thanks for the input. I've heard of org-mode, but haven't really tried it out

Thank you for the PPA instructions; it worked like a charm and Minitube is

Just an update. I still seem to have an issue with the BIOS resetting to 2002
whenever I boot up after an extended period. However, that is pretty easy to
fix, I merely check and change the date and time every time I boot in. (Not

I was wondering if anyone else was having trouble playing Youtube videos via

The version of Minitube I have is straight from the repos, and is currently at

Was there perhaps an API change that requires an updated version of Minitube?

I am another person who tends to agree that the term free software is
