I always thought Eben Moglen is a better spokesperson for the movement, for
the following reasons:
* He's a lawyer, so the myth free software only conveys for hipster
programmers is useless against him.
* He's much more articulate and controlled, and has more wide and important
subjects to
The only definition I can think of is 'incomplete'. The only native
application, besides the environment itself, is their file manager. They need
more and I'm counting on it for E18.
It is not very easy to modify it in the sense you won't screw it up by
accident like you could delete the
E16 was a window manager. E17 is a half DE. I mean half as it is the first
release to have the intention of being a DE, although they lack a lot of
common apps (but the underlying software (libs etc) is ready already).
I think that E18 by the end of this year will be suited for desktop use as
much as other DE's.
Here are some neat things you can do with E17 right now:

I also like Seeks as a decentralized/federated alternative. seeks.hsbp.org is
my preferred node.
Are you using Gnash or HTML5?
HTML5 is not as bad as Gnash but certainly not perfect either. Enable it at
youtube.com/html5.
Here are other suggestions to make it play not using flash:

I had the same problem when burning the live iso in a CD. To log in in the

Not sure about your second problem. That doesn't happen here.
The default, where you have a button Click to play is Gnash, the
reverse-engineered Flash. As any reverse-engineered project it is not on par
with the original software. It is kept as default for the following reasons
(or at least make sense as being reasons):
Youtube uses it by default,
Greasemonkey is an addon which enables you to run custom javascript in your

Thanks. I knew about the gstreamer developers ppa but it looks old. They are
using an alpha version of opus according to the page, and all the packages
are for oneiric and below.
I wanted it for batch encoding (in Soundconverter 2.0.4) and playback in
rhythmbox. So a supported gstreamer
Another point in favor of Debian is politics. If we base on Ubuntu we are
relying on Canonical, meaning we are on the corporation's back. Basing on
Debian there is no corporation control behind upstream.
About the release, don't get so frustrated anymore. It has already been moved
to cdimage.trisquel.info (where official releases go), it is unlikely to be
changed although possible. If you were in the dev channel you'd see that even

We could be working on more editions at the time. Xfce, KDE, and improving
the Mini.
If we go to the debian route we should just merge with gNewSense. The
'idealist' free distribution is already fit by Parabola which removes
anything even remotely related to proprietary like fat support.
To summarize the meeting:
* Yes, we will do LTS only.
* We will open a user repository so the community can submit their backports
(newer software like gimp 2.8, etc)
Is there anything in particular that I could be doing to help as far as
testing?

I believe you need 3D acceleration in the VM to do so.
There is a tool called Keryx[1] which downloads packages for offline use.

Decompiling does not produce the original logic. You can disassemble a binary
software with good results, but you can't decompile something to a higher
level language. You will always lose original information, and this practice
is almost always illegal.
Like I said, you will not look at the original code when you decompile. See

To explain a little further, ftp.redir.es was a repository mirror which came
by default for Trisquel 5.5, and is now inactive (not working). To solve the
problem do what starchild or icarolongo said.
We also know of:
* Newly created accounts set as administrator do not have sudo access.
* gnome-shell and gnome-session are conflicting packages.
The blocker bug is a missing icon in Ubiquity. But indeed, after that is
solved the final release will emerge.
Like Magic Banana said, it is the next LTS. Every even number (4.0, 6.0, 8.0,
10.0) are LTS releases.
The final release is scheduled for today. If you are able to wait a few more
hours, you will get the official announcement.

It is still better to use your Trisquel device, there is software dedicated

I am neutral to the shell as a desktop. It does, however, require 3D

Those are merged from the Universe repo of Ubuntu: Community maintainted

Excerpt from Gentoo's wikipedia article:
A Gentoo Penguin is the fastest-swimming of the penguin family. The name

So, what is the final word? Too many posts to read.
Arista is probably your safest bet since it doesn't have a leaning curve.
x264 is easier than ffmpeg in the cli and probably the most fail-proof

I count GNU as being something you can't remove without making your system
