Hello! I installed Trisquel release and hope will use it on my old notebook.
I got a few questions - if anybody can give me some hints I'll be very glad,
cause I'm new to Linux.

You won't find help installing the non-free repos from Ubuntu on this forum.
It is possible to do, but Trisquel is intended to be an entirely free distro.
If you're going to use non-free repos, you might as well just install Ubuntu.
Your intel
Oh ok! Thank you for answer. Yes I mean proprietary drivers, not software.
And I also found that Trisquel is ablle to play mp3 files:) As for WiFi it
says "firmware missing" - is there any way to obtain this firmware or the
only one is to buy another wifi dongle, as you mentioned??
Thank you
We don't support anything proprietary here, Trisquel GNU/Linux is about
freedom.
What is your output of

is my wifi adapter), but how to "setup" them?":(
If you want working WiFi, use this:

It's certified by the FSF to respect your freedom.
You can also replace the internal WiFi card if you want to go that direction.
We will not help you install non-free software here, including drivers. If
you absolutely need/want to use these drivers, there are plenty of other
distros out there to use.
The 'firmware missing' issue that you're having is because your wi-fi card
requires non-free firmware to operate. Our
OH! Good, thank you very much for answers! In future I will buy a new one:)
Anyway I really like Trisquel distro as it's one of the lightest I've ever
seen (among ~20 wich I tested on my notebook - this one works perfectly)
Thank you again:)
You understand why we don't help with non-free software/drivers on this forum
right? We're not doing it to be mean ... we're doing it because we care
about others.
Sometimes we assume that people understand why free vs non-free matters.
If you use proprietary software, your computer could b
YES! I love this strategy too. Almost all software wich I have on my work PC
(under Win) is opensource. I trust this programs more then proprietary ones

It's no use using a free email program if you connect to the internet with a
non-free wireless-card ;)

Cool, arbuzik, you sounds really enthusiastic about this lol. I'd like to
clarify some words in your post. Lots of people, including me, mix these
words up:
Free vs Open Source:
Free refers to specific freedoms. Open source allows for proprietary parts.
Open source can be 5% proprieta
