But I've made some metapackages that can be used to install a fully working and branded Triskel desktop using a netinstall disk. I'll talk to Ruben if these can be pushed into the repos.. That sounds great! Please send your packages to the development mailing list so I can review them an

Well, first of all, that was not me who asked that. Then, I have already explained an obvious use of a recovery mode: a lonely lambda user of Trisquel (probably most of Trisquel's users), who forgot her password, can easily change it with Taranis. With Slaine, because of apparent

This isn't really an issue with having no branding but rather with not being a name brand. Your bank would not know what Icecat or Iceweasel or probably even Seamonkey is (they all use the same Mozilla rendering engine). It's their fault they hired an incompetent web developer who doesn't

File managers aren't really of the same class of application as web browsers. Something like a file manager is considered to be part of the desktop environment itself; I wouldn't call myself a Nautilus user, more like a GNOME user. Web browsers are not like this; they are distinct from the
