Good luck with it!
The country that I live is basically STUPID WIN orientated people. Other
operating systems are not well versatile or understood at all. I have FIVE
network desktop PC's, as a small business internet shop. The problem and the
great majority of people, all they
great idea!
Flash is bad and there is no replacement for flash that works on all sites.
Recently I found out that soundcloud uses flash for uploading images, and
Gnash did not work with soundcloud. I decided not to use soundcloud because
of a flash requirement. For youtube I use minitube and youtube-dl.
I have set up GNU boxes for public use before (not for a library).
For public use I would recommend booting off an image rather than installing
to HD.
Could be a cdrom internal to the box, a USB key inside that the users cannot
access or a thin client booting from the network. This
I would disagree with claiming that it doesn't work for entertainment
websites for two reasons:
1. It suggests that Trisquel is only suitable for research and work. This can
make Trisquel seem more boring than it is.
2. It doesn't cover all cases of Flash use anyway. I've seen at least one
I see your point. Better to state the facts and declare that it is not
installed/disabled.
I have a few suggestions -
Set the browser home page to Trisquel's all-manuals page:
https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/all-manuals
Put free-sw-friendly websites in the bookmarks. For example, for music :
bandcamp.com , Jamendo (please correct me if these websites are not good
suggestions)
Libreplanet, FSF, Diaspora, a reliable and well-stocked mediagoblin
instance, owncloud, Think Penguin, JXSelf, all good suggested bookmarks
for that Trisquel box in the library.
Yes I am loading it up with Open Library, Wikipedia, Archive.org, Creative
Commons, and others as well.
In regards to using images:
Can I create an image that consists of all the programs I want to load the
box with?
I thought about writing a simple HTML page with links to various libre sites
and setting that as the homepage :D
Thanks a lot for recommending minitube! Looks great. I use youtube-dl, which
I still find very useful, but never heard of minitube before. Do you know if
it's possible to configure it to work through a proxy or vpn?
Yes, a .iso Live Image can be customised with the install/removal of programs
and changes to settings.

optional )
and then that custom .iso image can be burnt to CD to make a liveCD or copied
to USB to make a
Hey everyone,
Okay so I am trying to blueprint a GNU/Linux box for educational use at my
local library and I am completely f** terrified.
I want to use ONLY free software but I also am trying to build the machine
for use by local students to do their homework on and for anyone of any
