Congratulations to you to because I have heard that april is for a part in that move to free software! I hope that soon the french gov will start is migration to fully free distro by the way that Linux-libre is a GNU project and also a fully free kernel. Maybe with APRIL you can spread the words about respecting the law by migrate to fully free distro : http://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.html Feel free to spread the word that the FSCorsica.org that is in Corsica is ready to help the french gov on the island for the migration too. Have fun & be free! -- Aurélien DESBRIÈRES Run free! Run GNU.ORG
