I don't know anything about MIPS, but I guess it's an architecture which is
obviously supported by debian.
Since I would appreciate trisquel using debian as its base, I only see even
more advantages for all of us.
Consider trisquel switching to debian:
1. its base will be more free-software minded
2. ubuntu makes more and more its own way, it will get more incompatible with
other distros and so on.... best thing trisquel can do is leaving it
3. we would open the doors for gnewsense developers, who can stop wasting
time maintaining this out-dated distro.
