Thank you both for the answers. I have already read some of the GNU.ORG links, that's how I found about Trisquel, "blobs" in kernel etc...

How NVIDIA works with 100% free GNU/Linux? Guess something similiar to AMD. Now I have read about some laptops called MIPS laptops, with free BIOS. Heard Stallman use them? I guess they work with free GNU/Linux well too then.

I know the differences between free and open-source, I was just curious if all free software has a open-source, so people can look at its code, and find what shouldn't be there. Some backdoors etc... Who knows, maybe Ubuntu and other distros have a backdoors in their proprietary blops. :/

I know what is SWAP too, but there are many recommendations. And also that SWAP is used even if your RAM isn't full. I have a 2GB RAM now, some people would recommend 2GB, some 3GB, some 4GB, some even 6GB... I think if you have 8GB of RAM, it useless to have 8GB of SWAP...

Well, I guess no Trisquel for me now, until I get a proper hardware for it. Then I will definitely come back to Trisquel. Like this distro, simple, classic look, easy to use, and 100% free and open source.

Thanks again for all the info. :)

(Wondered why people say LINUX, since Linux is only the kernel... Now everybody use that... Maybe they just wanted 1 simple name, and Linux sounds better to them than GNU...) But wouldn't calling it only GNU be more precise than calling it Linux?
