In short, yes. If it is a paid VPN, however, the provider generally does not
want to keep IP addresses. If customers find out said provider is done.
I'm not really an expert on the matter, but from what I understand it is a

So, if I were to run a nameserver on my laptop would the cache have to be

I could be wrong, I've never run one of my own. Don't nameservers keep the

file then perhaps it wouldn't be much of a problem. Resolution might be a
little slower.

Nameservers are for DNS resolution as far as I know. In order for your

time, ISPs provide one for you. If you're gonna run your own, I'm afraid
you'd have to have your computer running all the time. In any case, you

I personally use rTorrent. It is a CLI program with a very small footprint.

If DRM and other restrictions to sharing were made illegal this wouldn't be a
problem. The GPL exists the way it does because it is the only way right now

As I understand it, the warning stems from the possibility that the PPA could
have both Free Software and proprietary software. Once added, it is possible
to accidentally install the proprietary software as well.

That's not the same. You are simply transmitting the information when it
comes to Tor. It is hard to prove that you didn't know you were sharing a
file when it is necessary to add the torrent or magnet. Anyway, like I

I clicked on the wrong reply link. That reply was meant for t3g not you.
Sorry for any confusion. As to your original question, there's no risk as far
as I know. I believe it is possible to tell that one is on Tor, but I don't
think that would be a problem.
That'd be great! Especially since the Vodo tracker seems to be broken. At
least for now.
Just like Chris stated there really aren't known cases of people running an

ignoring this. No, you cannot, I repeat cannot, be held liable for the

Well, maybe it could simply come with the distribution by default. That would

Every time I've used the command "apt-get update" the kernel is held back
unless I run "apt-get dist-upgrade" I think it just works like that, although

It does, it just isn't necessarily the newest version.
Well, I'd imagine the problem is that you really don't know what's running on
your computer at that point. You sign up for the projects, but I don't know
of a way to investigate what the computer is actually calculating. It is
possible to install it, however.
You might want to try it on another computer just in case.
Indeed, it is a directory. The original poster might have meant dmesg,

I'm fairly certain that your flash drive is dead. Flash memory, sadly, has a

Personally, I don't like it. In the desktop space, design isn't as much of a
problem as with a laptop. One can simply buy a case that fits one's
motherboard and change cases anytime.
I might be wrong, but I think problems of the sort can occur if you've run
out of space for the partition. You can easily check this by typing the

Trisquel releases are based on LTS releases of Ubuntu. Updates are brought
from upstream as far as I know.
Yes, all programs should be functional. Any propietary software that might be

With all the problems that exist with services such as Netflix and Amazon

In order for a system to be completely free there must be no proprietary
software on it. Since the project is committed to Free Software you will find
no such driver in the repos. My suggestion would be to get a USB device to
