dealt with Java (on the programming side of things, anyway) in at least five
years.
I have got the rc.local file ironed out so I always boot Intel. Now I just
need to figure out exactly which file to edit and what part. Will report
back.

It's not that hard to put up such a site. Particularly when you have as many
people working on the project as they do. It gets more complicated when you
have things like a shopping cart, internationalization, translations,
currencies, etc. Those things don't exist with the default deployment

what we typed, for example our passwords.
Do we need, on Trisquel, to protect ourselves against keyloggers ? if yes,
how ? is the danger very important ? (someone find our passwords with a

Hello, everybody,
On the market, more and more computers have compatibility problems with free
OS. Sometimes the wifi card must be changed. Even, sometimes you replace by a
compatible wifi card on an other computer but the computer doesn't start
(because of the overlocked motherboard).
Chris is definitely correct. I would definitely advice the same thing buddy.
