It's in the Trisquel repos; Trisquel only supports free software, so I

What if there were two books in the documentation. One English, and one
Spanish. Each documentation page could have a link at the bottom to the
corresponding page on the other book.
I don't know much about the documentation so this may be a bad idea for a
Or link at the top to the corresponding Spanish/English page in the other
book. Language link at the top makes more sense.
Sorry for the three responses. I just tried that link you mentioned. I see
now that it's a problem only on the one page.
The other pages seem to work fine in Spanish, French, Italian, Galician,
German.
Just the one page. Strange.
Gnome2 had an applet to control screen brightness. It worked even if the
function keys didn't, if I remember right. Maybe Mate will have something
similar?
There was a terminal command that controls screen brightness too ... I wish I
could remember it.
I found it; I hope this works for you.
Install:
sudo apt-get install xbacklight
Use:
xbacklight -set Y

I tried Marble and I'm really happy with it.
I'll give Okular a try - thanks for the recommendation lembas.
I tried Ctrl+Alt+F1 again today; this time the error message happened after I
logged in, and before I opened Emacs.
I should have posted that Ctrl+Alt+F7 is how to come back to GUI Trisquel, in
case someone used the F1 key combination and got stuck there.
Thanks a lot guys! I'll check out Jxself's site.
Thanks a lot guys, these all look great. I'll give them a try, and add a few
to the documentation.
Thanks! I'll try Ctrl+Alt+F1 on my desktop computer to get used to the
environment. I'll use the commands that you guys posted, and maybe try and
use some applications like emacs in text mode. Then I'll give NetInstall a
go.
This just happened to me too, on the computer I hoped to use as a server.

If we post our ideas on the forum, we discuss the ideas more easily than on a
wiki I think. On the other hand, a wiki page would be more organized. I
don't mind either way.
I read somewhere that serif fonts are easier to read than sans serif fonts.
Wikipedia says so as well, but it also says that studies have been
inconclusive.
What do you guys think? If Serif is probably easier to read, should we
change the Documentation's body text to a serif font?
Would the big email providers block my address even if their customer emailed

I have three landscape-oriented png images. They're each something like 1700

Can put them into a three-page pdf document? I'd like to keep the image
quality, and horizontal orientation too if possible.
Is there a program that will do this?
I could put the pngs into LibreOffice Writer. But Writer has the white-space
border around the image. I can stretch the image to cover that border, but I
don't know how to stretch it to scale. the png gets distorted either
vertically or horizontally when I do this.
