I just made an account, thanks to this post... I'm sorry you're unable to
access it, though...
I just click the grid icon in the top right corner of the New Tab page to

GNU Icecat is always a little behind- Abrowser is usually hot on the trail of
Mozilla, however.
I was wondering that, as well.
I'm unsure of the opinions of RMS on this topic, but I consider alright if
it's possible to make your own replacement for the map data, then I consider
OK.
If anyone is more informed of this, please comment.
The Puppy Arcade distribution has a Linux kernel with blobs in it- that
should be avoided.
Try downloading some GNU/Icecat .deb files and installing via terminal.
-CD to the directory of the deb files
-Execute "sudo dpkg -i [DEB FILE]"
If installation still doesn't work, you can try installing with the
source/using binaries at http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnuzilla/31.2.0/
At least it's technically possible. If it's in a language that even the
developer couldn't understand (I.E. binary code) then it's not Free Software.
"... unethical, but not a violation [of the GNU GPL]."
Point made.
Pretty much any Free Software project that a service can be made for.
OwnCloud is an example- many companies host OwnCloud servers that you can
use.
OwnCloud itself has a proprietary "enterprise" version- this needs to be
avoided at all costs.
Free Software that isn't gratis is much more rar
Interesting. Might I ask- what's the point of making a bash script for the
task, but telling the user to not run the bash script and follow the
instructions? Why not just make a text file giving them instructions?

I myself install VLC, gnome-shell, gnome-session, gdm, and other GNOME 3 app
I don't think that there is a wealth of immoral software developers out there
to harm the users- to most of them, it simply comes natural, and they don't
even consider malicious features malicious.
And how can you have an infinite wealth of examples of proprietary software
that does what the
"Give proprietary software and inch, and it'll move a mile"
Even a single proprietary component is a security and privacy risk-
certainly, if your computer NEEDS one proprietary component (And you are
unable to replace your PC with one that doesn't need any proprietary
software) it's better
Debian GNU/Hurd isn't a stable and usable for average users yet- it's
testing, I believe. That may be why it's not on the list.
I find it unlikely that there's any non-free software for Hurd, or that
Debian has a non-free repository for Hurd, but it's possible.
You should be able to run that H
The Eee PC is capable of doing so, at least from what other people said in
the comments on the page.
The device only came with 2GB. I don't understand the problem.
You could use an external USB for extra storage, or an SD card, etc, etc.
Not too long ago the big question was "When will they start their
Trusty-based version?"
(I jest, I jest...)
Well, I reccommend Gnewsense or Parabola, rather than Debian.
Debian isn't the worst thing ever, at least. It has a non-free repository,
though, so be cautious.
You could enable the gnome-stage PPA- it allows you to install GNOME 3.12 and
most GNOME applications, such as Maps, Epiphany, etc.
It runs like a charm.
(I'm pretty sure that the PPA has 100% free software; I'll have to look into
it a little bit more.)
Problem solved- thanks to a post over at the forums of a non-free distro of
which Parabola is based. (I won't link, sorry.)
Solution to keyboard lag (And, perhaps, mouse lag!):
Add the following section to /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section"ServerFlags"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "true
Sorry for two questions in two days!
There seems to be keyboard lag in T7-
every once in a while when I'm typing, there will be a few second lag between
my keypresses and the characters displaying on the screen. My screen isn't
freezing- I can still interact with windows during this lag...
I've just upgraded to Trisquel 7 (Loving it so much~!) and am installing via
that PPA now.
That PPA won't work with Trisquel 6, as it doesn't have any packages for
12.04.
Thanks!
I've just installed Trisquel 7 and used that PPA- thanks!
(Or, perhaps, 3.14...?)
Is there any way to install GNOME 3.12 in Trisquel 6...?
(Perhaps, even, all of the GNOME applications- Epiphany, Maps, etcetera?)
Sorry for the imbecile question- I'm a GNU/Linux newbie...
Wow. Just... My jaw litterately dropped a little.
So many people have attempted this feat, yet you've done it better than any
other one I've seen. This looks wonderful...
I love you. I love you.
Sorry about the "endorsement" misconception- I meant that it came with 100%
free software preinstalled, a la the /links/companies URL.
Welcome, serval! I'm pretty new, myself.
I wouldn't reccomend using Libreboot- unless you know what you're doing,
bricking is certainly possible. I'd say that you should install Trisquel, and
this is as close to freedom as you can get on that computer.
ThinkPenguin.com has some great free software-friendly computers (FSF

Thank you! Now the Logitech works and the cursor no longer flickers! :)
Hm... I tried this, but selecting GNOME displayed a "GNOME session not found"
error... Perhaps a fresh install of Trisuel shall solve this problem. :)
Might I add that the trackball works with Blag, and Blag does not have the
flickering. I think that perhaps my current install of Trisquel has an older
version of the Linux Libre kernel and I need to install a more recent one.
Hi, all~
I'm new to the world of Trisquel, and have just recieved a Think Penguin
laptop that comes with it. However, I have encountered these two problems:
-The Logitech M570 Trackball does not seem to work...
-The cursor flickers whenever I click.
This is rather odd.
