freezing and sometimes even making the computer turn itself off. It turned
out that the screen reader had been automatically enabled, and it was the

The answer is: Both yes and no. I will compare the i5 models specifically.

with your routers externel ip

Such a system wouldn't be free software, since it's up to the user what

You already answered your question but that is exactly what I was going to
chime in with. I've been running the Intel NUC D54250WYK(H) for several

At the OS layer there is no non-free software required. Which is to say it

No, do not use the Freed-ora repos, as these track kernel changes in Fedora

Hey Magic Banana,
I did not have the problem during installation (while using the live system).
The problem occured only after i installed Trisquel to the hdd and booted
from it.
Changing layouts in the system settings did not affect this.
Any ideas how to fix this? For me it is not usable

Ok, so it's all about Debian only recommending non-free software.
SuperTramp83's comment sounded like either way, you better check what you

which essentially means to me that from a user's point of view, there's no
difference.
Maybe less checking, but either I check everything or I

Both are free software.

At least my original question was answered: Yes, you can install Trisquel on
an empty (no MBR) hard drive via USB connection.
debian wheezy xfce looks exactly like that by default. If you like my desktop
(look above) you can make it look like that in 3 minutes - Greybird-master
theme / Numix-master windows theme / elementary xfce icons theme and whisker

Ask them this: do you value at all concepts like ethics, freedom and
privacy?.
Ok, thanks for the precision.
In summary, both are ok from an informed user's point of view,
But Trisquel is more solid when it comes to suggested default add-ons.
Politics aside, one is more usable in a pro environment (better hardware
support), the other has zero non-free suggestions.

Actually you have already been told, but anyway:

Can I do a freedora (any better term for that?), install Linux-libre, and
be sure the rest of the repo is libre (OK, ignoring Chromium in case it's in

Partitioning should not be that difficult. Here is how I partitioned my
debian wheezy setup:
/ primary 1gb
/usr logical 10gb
/var logical 3gb
swap logical 8gb
/tmp logical 3gb
/home logical the rest of the hard drive (450gb or so)

Ah yes, I didn't take into account hardware support. But how come Debian with
the free repo only supports your laptop whereas Trisquel doesn't?
Does that mean that you used a non-free blob or driver only for ATI graphics
support?
You replied when the event was done. :D So yeah, haven't asked them this.
