Old packages and security don't really go well together.
More to the point - the amount of effort that goes into maintaining a branch
of a distro isn't low, but it's certainly within the realm of possibility. It
probably comes down to skill and time to spend on this project
Maybe some similar services help to understand what they are:
Twitter is similar to Weibo and Google is similar to Baidu.

this was the first platform they developed the game for, as well. This makes

Hmm, this gets me thinking... The homebrew scene for many consoles has been

emulators are Free Software, putting together a list of libre homebrew games
might be useful.
AFAIK it should be possible to install MuPDF without installing the MuJS

Interesting topic. Thanks for bringing it up, GNUbahn.

As for laptops, I can vouch for the aforementioned and well-known Vikings
store. The x200 I bought from them works flawlessly with free software and I
am currently running Parabola on it.

Hello George,
I recommend you take a look at https://etcher.io for creating live USB flash
drives. In my experience, it succeeds where other tools fail.
To sum it up - welcome to Trisquel.
Most users on the forums prefer the term of "Free Software", as we think of
it as an ethical issue.
It's about software that is free as in freedom of speech.
The 'open source' camp (best term I can think of) merely decides to let
others work on their code
You might want to open a new thread and provide some specific information on

Those actually look like good devices I could live with for a price I'd be

Thanks for mentioning it, I might actually get one. AOSP definitely isn't
perfect, but better than the kind of stuff one can expect on a Amazon Fire

I most definitely would be :)
Monthly might be a bit too often, depending on the scope.
But having a scheduled clean-up to "weed out" outdated articles, update

Hi everyone!
I remember a discussion I recently had about documentation and Free Software.
One critical thing that turns people off or might make it harder for a user
to actually use some pieces of Free Software is a lack of documentation,
which just so happens to be an issue that can be
I whole-heartedly agree.
There is a set naming scheme for Trisquel releases, we should go with that as
it stands and there is not reason to introduce any arbitrary rules.
It doesn't matter if the release code names are of male *or* female god*esses
or one that's unisex, for lack of a better
Thanks for updating. We can rule that out, then. I suggest trying the
suggestion Magic Banana made.
That's good to know.
I better specify however: I was asking for the names you put in when creating
the partitions, as I suspect that special characters in the names of the
partitions or the disk itself, which might cause the errors you described.
Basically, try installing with as simple a
First of all I'd like to welcome you to the Trisquel forums:
Welcome, enjoy your stay :)
To address your problem, please post the disk label you chose when defining
the partitioning scheme.
Camulus (Camulos, Camalos) is a god of war and sky.
Other terms that might be found are a German band (spelled Camulos) and a
museum called Rancho Camulos. Those don't rank very high in the searches I
made.
I agree with aloniv on the point of avoiding DRM, the few books I looked at
on their site all say that they come with Adobe DRM. Opening epub however
shouldn't be an issue for e.g. fbreader.
The deletion of books RMS occasionally talks about refers to the Amazon
(Sw/K)indle, which was used

That's what it looks like - it might be prudent, however, for someone to ask
BayLibre for clarification on this front. That might well affect whether or
not I'll support the project. Seeing libre mali drivers would be amazing for
several devices.
I did that for one of my laptops. Works flawlessly.
Hi amenex.
I'd agree that those requests may have been executed by someone who's "up to
no good", it's likely though that someone just set a vulnerability scanner on
you or some spider was doing whatever a spiderpig... uh.. spider does.
To get to your main question: An HTTP HEAD request
You could check eBay, I've bought wireless cards that are supported by libre
drivers for 5-10€ with shipping.

Two takes on this.
First: http://sealedabstract.com/code/nsa-proof-your-e-mail-in-2-hours/ is a

Second: You might not want to do it in the first place. I actually considered
it myself and ended up reading an article
Reminded me of a few virtual installs of Trisquel. I tend to overlook them as
they don't occupy much space or any resources if I don't need them.
I'd sum it up in saying that it has access to a lot of things that can
identify you. It's a kind of design issue - if a website wants to display a
certain font in order to make their website look all shiny, it can ask your
browser to provide a list of fonts that it supports. If that's
Two of my laptops are on Trisquel, though I am considering the move to
Parabola for one of them.
I'm enjoying it a *lot*. I love where you are going with this!
That line of reasoning seems perfectly reasonable to me. I wasn't concerned
about freedom with systemd - it is Free Software and as such perfectly
acceptable in my books. In regards to swapping it out being viable, this is
what I've seen in a few distros, some of which seem to be marketing
I whole-heartedly agree with your sentiment because memes.

Hello everyone,
excuse the potentially stupid question: I've been reading about systemd
lately and was wondering what exactly is the main issue that some people seem
to have with it. My understanding so far is that it violates the Unix
principle of doing one thing and doing it right and
I'm probably enjoying this joke way more than I should... ;)
I do not, but if I ever decide to start one I'll make sure to let you know.
Glad to meet you as well!
For me, the trackpoint is perfect but I see why someone might want to use a
touchpad. There are external touchpads like these, in fact:
Congratulations!
I'm more than happy to see one more person in possession of a liberated
computer and even more happy to know that you seem to be enjoying it. Best of
luck to you in your endeavour!

Hi LinuxDummy,
this could have one of several reasons. I'd advise you to first check which
keymap is selected - if you are using e.g. a French keyboard while having the
US keymap selected, many keys won't match the letters that are on your
physical keyboard.
Secondly, as you can indeed
Hi alimiracle,
first of all it's nice to see somebody involved with the Uruk project here!
I tried it out and it's a really nice looking and well laid-out distribution
that I can see succeed in the future.
To me, including GNU Guix would be a great feature.
And while you are here and looking
