[Trisquel-users] Re : Which packages Trisquel provides in order to provide codes for common video audio files.
The .manifest files on http://cdimage.trisquel.info/trisquel-images/ are lists of packages on the ISO images of the different editions and versions of Trisquel.

Re: [Trisquel-users] X60 Libreboot Trisquel 7 Overheating
I've isolated which line of my script that removes the high pitched noise. The line, # rmmod uhci_hcd #disable module uhci_hcd which is the kernel module for USB 1.1 support, right? That line disables the module and with it the noise. However, USB 1.1 devices won't work without it. I've tested with my NokiaN95 (which've got a mini/micro usb 1.1 port to transfer files). The kernel did not recognize it after i disabled the module (while indeed got recognized when uhci_hcd was enabled), # dmesg produced no additional output when uhci_hcd was disabled by mentioned command. Well, that did it for me (and i never use 1.1usb devices, except my NokiaN95 when transfering files). Am currently recompiling the kernel with as many thinkpadx60/intel specifics as possible, hopefully to solve the heat issue. If it does, then i will report back here such that it may be useful to others as well. by the way, is it really safe to apply the suction of a vaacum cleaner on tiny electronics? i've read that a can of compressed air is the safer option. I've not yet removed the intel wireless card nor the fingerprint reader due to the screws being too small for my current screwdriver. The wireless card is generating alot of heat, yes, but the CPU is the thing that makes my system unbearably hot, as when it's on idle, then the temperatures are acceptable. So i can get away with text editing, internet browsing (usually), but long copies and any long-lasting operation makes the CPU too hot. So compiling, say, the kernel... my system will probably burn up :D my former post, i forgot to include some sources, so here they are: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_redu ce_power_consumption https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Power_management/Guide https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentatio n/cpu-freq/governors.txt of course, there are others, but i did not note them down.

Proprietary software is terrible. Plus the terminal is a helpful tool. Learn it (in mynhumble opinion). GNU/Linux-libre does not require a user to always use the terminal (if you have a desktop environment). We are all about Freedom over convenience.
[Trisquel-users] Re : Questions on old programming languages
For efficiency, with an object-oriented paradigm (and even some functional bits): C++14. On the negative side, the language is not safe (you cannot have both efficiency and safety) and is complicated, hard to master. The standard template library does not contain much but many excellent libraries exist (search the boost library first). When efficiency matters less than productivity: Python 3. It is, nowadays, one of the most popular language (what means many libraries are available). It is object-oriented and safe. Ruby is similar, has its fans, but is less popular, hence less libraries. To process text inputs: AWK. You can do so many things by writing, in a matter of seconds/minutes, a few lines of AWK. I would argue that those three languages cover all needs (notice that C++ is a superset of C). Some would argue that, between C++ and Python, there is room for a language like Java. I personally do not think so: either choose efficiency (C++) or productivity (Python).
[Trisquel-users] Re : How inconvenient freedom can be?
Instead of downloading the whole updated package, you download some kind of patch to apply on the latest version you already have. That means faster downloads and smaller bitrate requirements for the server.

Okay. Thank you very much. That's good to know. Although for security sakes and simple patanioia I preferbto wipe pre-installed stiff and do a full wipe of the drive (a secure erase) and then install my preferred distribution. That being neither Trisquel or gNewSense.
Re: [Trisquel-users] How inconvenient freedom can be?
Well, you don't need to (and shouldn't) think about it, so that's not really a meaningful example. If you actually manually compile your Python code, you're doing it wrong; you're supposed to let the interpreter handle that for you (and pass -O or -OO if you want optimizations). But even C code is perfectly easy to compile as long as a good build environment is set up (e.g. Autotools or CMake), and the procedure to compile the program is explained properly. The hardest part is installing dependencies, not actual compilation.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Questions on old programming languages
Python is easily my favorite language. I do just about everything in Python. I've even done things I could do in bash in Python (like iterating over dozens of files and renaming them a certain way), though that's largely because I haven't bothered to learn much of bash. Out of C and C++, I'm personally more fond of C, though I understand I'm in a minority. I think there are too many ways to do a lot of things in C++, mostly as a result of inheriting stuff from C while also inventing totally new methods to do stuff (e.g. malloc/free vs new/delete).
