Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel mini 4 or else
I had this problem a few years ago. I took the hard drive out of the laptop I installed it on and put it in a laptop that reports PAE as a CPU feature. The first laptop actually supports PAE, but it doesn't correctly announce it as a feature. If your laptop really doesn't support PAE, then this may not work. I then installed Trisquel 6 (the latest available then) and then installed a package called fake-pae. I swapped out the drive and it booted fine. I never tried booting it without the fake-pae package, so I don't know if it would have worked without it or not. Here's the thread I made for reference: https://trisquel.info/en/forum/boot-trisquel-computers-without-pae
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel mini 4 or else
I just tested some Trisquel discs on the same laptop. The version that didn't boot was 6.0. I was able to boot up 6.0.1 just fine. Trisquel 7 will only boot if you pass a "forcepae" boot parameter. To do that, press F6 after choosing your language on the CD boot screen. Press escape, and you will notice the boot parameter text appear near the bottom of the screen. Select the option you want to boot into (live, install, etc.) Move the cursor to the left of the double-dash (--) and add "forcepae" to make the end of the parameters look like this: previousparameter forcepae -- Press enter, and it should start booting.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Does the raspberry pi and its accessories meet free software/hardware standards?
The official distro, Raspbian, comes with many proprietary programs by default. Mathmatica, Wolfram Alpha, Java (Not the free version, IcedTea,) and Minecraft. There may be more that I'm not aware of. That doesn't even count the proprietary firmware on it that lembas mentioned.

Yes. It's called Make Seamless. It's in Filters --> Map --> Make Seamless.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Ubuntu "Spyware" Will Be Disabled In Ubuntu 16.04
If you install Debian without entering a root password during the installation, sudo will be enabled. The wireless may have been glitchy because Debian doesn't come with proprietary drivers out of the box and the free ones don't work too well, assuming it worked fine in Ubuntu with the proprietary drivers.
