At the top right corner of the page to which t3g linked there is an arrow

They were unclear on what they meant by the command window. To be more

What if Inkview doesn't appear in the list of graphics programs?

Okay, okay, I'm really sorry about this as it looks like the Archiver is
proprietary. DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT!
Anyways, I think they may release the source code for the GUI if asked. After
all, if they've placed the object code under a BSD license, and released some
more of the program's source
Kindly note that I had found both of these before beginning this thread:
>"I'm not sure about the license; the site claims it's the Apache License but
the Windows installer run via WINE has a shortened BSD License."
Seeing source code available on GitHub, I assumed it was for the GUI.
I checked the license thoroughly and found it was under the Apache license.
The sole problem is that the source code is not available.
There is a license statement: http://dev.b1.org/license.html;
http://b1.org/about.jsp ("We work under Apache License").
I know, me too. But as proprietary as it may look, it's free, and it works
fantastically.

I do not know, because I have not used TrueCrypt since I installed Trisquel.
Try it yourself.
TrueCrypt is proprietary software, as discussed elsewhere on these forums.
Please remove it and use CryptKeeper, available in Trisquel's repositories.
You don't need to use the terminal. Don't direct people to the terminal if
you don't have to. Once you have OpenJDK, you can right click and choose to
open the file with it, after which it will execute.
Also, did matt not install the proprietary Wi-Fi drivers at some earlier
point of this discussion? Perhaps we need to remove them.

How can you do that?
I never mean to say it was Trisquel's fault. It was entirely mine. For the

Unfortunately, it appears that the Wi-Fi card you are using was made by

Log of the chat I just had with an HP representative (their name has been

another one on any of its laptops, either in hardware or in software?

What do you want me to say? I said something like "I have heard that HP
laptops ship with restrictions that prevent you from swapping the Wi-Fi
card."
You just knowingly installed non-free software on a system designed for your
freedom. Firefox/Abrowser would have worked just fine. Why are you even using
this distro if you're just going to install non-free software on it?
I do not own it, but I recently discovered it and thought it was a purchase
option.
I just talked to HP chat support, and the representative claimed that they
don't restrict swapping out the Wi-Fi card.
Is the wi-fi card in the HP ENVY 17t-j000 freedom-compatible? This is the
best one I've found yet, even if it comes with Windows.

The only thing that's wrong about your description of Trisquel is that it
also comes with a Linux-libre kernel and a different OS typeface.
Other than freedom, I do not believe Trisquel has anything that Ubuntu does
not.

Nimbus Sans L. I've only ever used FreeSans once, and I found it was
chock-full of tiny errors (for example, the lowercase s has a wider stroke

Interesting news! Somebody is doing a survey on font licensing for their

In the event that you install a package with dependencies and then remove

This is really good news for me. I've wanted to remove a bunch of unwanted

Also, welcome to Trisquel! It always warms my heart to see another person

I did.
On the topic of vPro, I believe I've found something highly relevant: Intel's
