It is actually very trivial at this point to worry if this older layout doesn't pass the validator when the actual OS we are waiting for (Trisquel 6) keeps getting pushed back. Wait until that comes out first before bugging Ruben.

Hello, I'm running Trisquel 6.0 32bit with Gnome and discovered a minor issue here: Trisquel Start Icon System Settings Appearance: The option to have the deskop appearance change throughout the day doesn't seem to work. I've tested it out for a while now and it never changes. I believe

Neat, but looks complex to set up. Also, without subscribable lists like Adblock Plus has, it won't be anywhere near as effective and accurate. Finally, I'm not convinced that this is a full answer, mostly because I don't really understand it. I've personally now taken to using Adblock and

I was thinking this too. Quite a bit of work to go figure it out though. But more people need to start accepting it if its ever going to be worthwhile. I'd like to support it with ThinkPenguin... but thats a project for another week.

We will have something. I'd like to have a 5ghz USB adapter with external antennas and AR9271. Unfortunately it is only possible to do external antennas with 2.4ghz at the moment and the AR9271. Technically though this can all be done with AR9271.
