You do realize that RMS himself faced that question and situation? He is a
professional software writer and he decided against writing proprietary
software for living.
Instead he wrote free software for living. Much of free software is written
today by paid professionals in addition to the
You can't make money just from selling free software. You will sell a few
copies, then free (as in money) downloads will be all over the internet. The
best thing to do would be to free it after a decent amount of money has been
made, or to do free software development as a part time job.
Samsung Galaxy Star Duos GT-S5282
1.I failed to find the device in compatibility lists. I found Samsung Galaxy
S, maybe this is shortening for Star?
2.How can I help to create Replicant/Cyanogenmod version for my model?
P.S. I'm not going to return the phone in shop. That was the cheapest
Ethics are not the only argument for FLOSS.
You're right. But the ethical argument is the most absurd for me.
My thoughts on forum moderation:
1. I personally prefer minimal moderation, but occasionally some is
required (see below for more on this)...
2. Excessive and off-topic posting can drown out other posts which is
essentially a form of censorship itself. Occasionally there are some
users that

Because proprietary software stops a user from having control over their

Many forms of proprietary software save file/s on the computer, which
can only be used by proprietary software. If a user sends a file created

Software developers aren't gods, so no need to be a slave. :-)

It's rpm better than deb?
It's Fedora better than Debian?
Hard to answer to these questions, so:
Why don't join the Trisquel team? They are open to accept new developers in
the team.
The Linux world is divided in hundreds of distribution.
Let's do Gnu/Linux better and united !

Maybe a way to help this, is to have a new area for such debate.
It looks like they've been doing it for a few months, maybe they should
e-mail the FSF and ask them to endorse it?
I try to view this file from this post :
https://trisquel.info/en/trisquel-libreplanet-2013
but I can't view or download.
The download stoped at 4% .Can someone upload it to mediagoblin?
while i view the use of ubuntuone as a fail, it certainly has gotten past 4%
for me (using the suggested wget command).
Freedom is not necessarily the ability to do anything; it is the ability to
do what is right. People should not need to be ruled by a sinful man, and all
humans are sinful. That is why I use libre software.
How can you live with atheism, the idea that there is no reason why we are

The download for the speech link works for me.
I second grimlok's new area idea.
At the edges of any debate, there are things to consider, things to ponder.
It's uncomfortable there for everyone. However the struggle to express ideas
clarifies them.
Even though I see RMS's points, and agree with them, I have benefited from
reading
i spoke to soon. it did eventually stop, and thus far my wget -c .. hasn't

Seems like they want to focus on an enterprise system.
We will change current Fedora Remix base system for enterprise linux
system like CentOS(or other clones) in next GdNewHat release in order to
become more stable fully free system distribution.

Replicant developer (more accurately, someone allowed to call myself one)
here. Unfortunately, the Galaxy S and Star are not the same device.
If you want Replicant support for the device, it needs to have CyanogenMod
support first. But the existing CyanogenMod developers don't take device

That's not atheism. That's nihilism. Don't confuse the two.

It's the Gluglug refurbished IBM ThinkPad X60.
http://www.fsf.org/resources/hw/endorsement/gluglug
haha, i just posted another topic with this same information, didn't see your
post.
they certified the gluglug thinkpad that has been mentioned here in the
forums. pretty cool.
Great minds think alike! :)
Here's the shop btw http://shop.gluglug.org.uk/
Happy days.
Nice!
Does this mean there's finally a computer RMS can use?
It's also available in Rubén's personal blog

I just found this distro the other day. i think it's very interesting,
especially if they're going to be putting out a RHEL clone that's fully free.
Updated to release 9.
New stuff: additions to the random duengon map darkhold9
improvements to the spell casting system (if you don't know the spell but
have a scroll of the spell the scroll will be read) Keys: Z X and C (iter
forward, backwards and cast).
Bunch of stuff for the release
Tried it in a VM and it seems to work pretty well.
Updated the software using their tools. All worked. Uses 3.11 Libre kernel
now.
Very slick interface, gnome 3 out of the box neat and clean. It is very
interesting as others have said.
You got a prank call about the mod?
Users who want to promote proprietary software can go to the many other
proprietary software forums and promote it there.
It appears that they want to wait until they're rebased on CentOS before
doing that.
Ethics is the whole point of Free Software.
What's better about CentOS? As far as I know, CentOS is rebranded, has RHEL's
proprietary software removed, and you can get gratis binaries.
Grav-mass is an atheistic movement
I find that strange; Isaac Newton was a Christian.
But it is propagated by Richard Stallman as an attempt to avoid celebrating
the Christian holiday Christmas.
That's why I think it's ironic!
It's based on Fedora right now, which gets frequent updates and reaches
end-of-life quickly, and they want a more stable system.

While creating backups I happened to notice this directory called .rpmdb
(with files in it). Is this normal? What does this directory do?
I seem to have one as well. Looks like a similar folder is related to the rpm
package manager. I don't know what that's doing on a system that eats deb
packages. Unless we both have ran alien, which converts rpms to debs, I
might've.
