Re: [Trisquel-users] Does gNewSense use less cpu and ram?

You're reffering to Debian Squeeze, not Wheezy. The latter one is the current stable release and it would be quite decent if gnewsense was based on it. However, you're right with the rest of your points. Squeeze still gets support so using it is not a problem from a security point of view -

GnewSense 3 is definitely based on debian Squeeze (6), not Wheezy(7), considering how perfectly it works with GTK+2 themes, and how perfectly it doesn't with my Nvidia GeForce 6200 GPU.

I understand. I believe the use of add-ons like AdBlock Plus and Disconnect could mitigate this; and there's a new add-on surfacing, Privacy Badger, by EFF, that could possibly help in this task: https://www.eff.org/privacybadger

Pretty cool, huh? I would love to have an e-reader. I've been avoiding them because I don't want to contribute to any potential kakotopia on the horizon. A bookstore employee at a major retailer recently asked me if I wanted to buy one of their readers, which were on sale. I told her that I

Try powering off and hitting F4 over and over during reboot. I think F4 is the hard reset for Samsung.

The brick problem seems to happen after installing GNU/Linux then writing to the NVRAM. UEFI should garbage-collect after every reboot. Samsung's doesn't. The right thing to do is acknowledge the bug, fix it, and push updates to customers. The absolute wrong thing to do is blame the user
