I watched his recent interview. Does the FSF fund his work? He said that the donations are not enough to cover a salary ... that's not really fair. It's easy to say that it's because the proprietaries have locked potential users into formats and protocols, and therefore people cannot

Whoever wrote the FAQ did a great job: I notice this website refers to Trisquel as a distribution of GNU/Linux and not Linux. Why? There is a long-standing naming controversy. Most people who use the system today don't know that what they're actually using is the GNU system combined

You wouldn't want to just say GNU like Trisquel GNU, because that doesn't give the Linux kernel the credit it deserves. GNU/Linux is the best we can do, for now. The best option is to get the Hurd running well so we can damn this naming problem forever. :p

Now you know why FLOSS projects backed by a company like Canonical, Google, or Red Hat are more sustainable than 1 man teams. Makes you wonder how much longer Ruben can keep this project going and bleed money working on it. Its sad to see Crunchbang go, but I never had a need to use it
