Hi

I did install divers distributions in the past and mainly use Puppy Linux. But it was not possible for me to try the original GNU Linux software as proposed on the site of Gnu Linux, an in some cases to recognize what kind of software the distro installs: Free Kernel or Kernel made by Linus Torvalds, Andrew Morton, et al., containing proprietary code in the form of binary blobs as exposed on the GNU web side page http://directory.fsf.org/wiki/GNU_Linux-libre.

For this reason, I did install Trisquel now, as it is named on the Gnu Linux page of Gnu Linux conform distributions, and I am of course a bit despited to encountre about an about analog situation.

The kernel seems don't to be the (actual) Kernel of above page.

The rest of the software contains only a part of the GNU software as «synaptic» doesn't find IceCat (or a suite containing IceCat).

My next problem is, that the proposed Kde seams to be old, especially the Koffice (I don't need Kde at all: important for me is only Koffice, without or without full Kde, and, as in the case of Calligra not all wished functions are yet reimplemented in that software compared with the old office versions or LO, important for me is an very actual office version to avoid to have to renounce to much functions if it is evoidable!).

As far as I know is the Kde a real Gnu software made only of free and open source code?

So I will ask if it is possible to include the original Gnu Software and the actual Kde office into my already installed Trisquel (Ubuntu, I didn't use Ubuntu in the last time, seems to propose real new versions of Calligra)?

(I did install the minimal proposal)

Kind regards
