I also highly doubt that this information is correct. Trisquel 5.5 is also a
very old version, which probably is not run anymore by anyone on this forum.
Hi, could anybody confirm this?

Hi,
When I try adding (save button) a new notebook test on the h-node

Same problem?
Thanks.

Hi everyone,
I've been learning a lot about Trisquel lately, mostly because of h-node and
what a great resource it is. I've actually been working the past few days on
a crazy idea to solve the problem that you already brought up:
We shouldn't need a different database for each and every
If I understand what you are trying to do this is not a solution. Merging the
info does not solve the problem.
No.
I'm actually surprised it hasn't been done by somebody though.
I'm not against the database's existence. It has its uses. I just don't think
we should be pointing or giving people the impression that this is how you
buy hardware for GNU/Linux. It's just not an answer for the majority. A
That was great info, thanks a lot. Just used it to buy a laser printer.
There is an even simpler way to determine your hplip version.

Especially since the yourdistribution.com URL doesn't seem to exist any more.
I just checked my hardware on h-node, even though I know it all works with
free software deblobbed kernel. The output was as follows:

hmm prizes. We'll have to come up with something.

So perhaps what we should start doing with hardware is getting it labeled
properly, chipsets and all. Sounds like your average consumer protection
thing. And since this is not GMO food we're talking here about it might
actually happen.
How long ago was that? Because those issues don't

h-node is luck though. ThinkPenguin is not luck. We're shipping back 35
printers because of an issue tomorrow. This is for a printer we have been
selling for at least a year. Trust me. It's luck when you get hardware that
is what you expected based on a model number.

Sure. Something like this would be good. It needs to be clear which hardware
and to what extent. For instance you don't want to recommend HP for printers
as that might get taken as all HP printers are good. They aren't. They're
just the best at documenting/supporting which are and aren't.

I think it would be similar for other devices. Seems easy to support.

ThinkPenguin uses only chipsets that have free software drivers available. On
the retail side I think it's more then possible to point to companies selling

Does the thinkpinguin computers also use a free bios (coreboot for instance)
?
No. It's not currently possible. Even with a free BIOS it would not be 100%
free due to other microcode. Porting a BIOS is also a non-trivial task. It is
too costly to be feasible at this time. It's not likely to happen any time
soon either for various reasons. Intel has been uncooperative

I was wondering if I would suggest a system on h-node to recognize truly free
software frendly vendors from the rest. Let's assume we have a list of those
vendors. Then it would be relatively easy to add some kind of mark or message
to every device's page from that vendor. It would also be
