It is not a reason good enough to blacklist Free Software because it is
buggy. I don't understand why VRMS is blacklisted. It is an attack to Free
Speech to blacklist VRMS.
I remember using years ago VRMS just for fun. I saw it was buggy, but it did
not matter because I never considered it
Hello Everyone,
I was thinking if there was any kind of script to remove all the non-free
software on Ubuntu ? That kind of script could be used to speed up the
Trisquel development only giving the work of adapting something that is not
available yet on Ubuntu.
I would like to know that
I didn't knew about that page, sorry about that :S.. And thanks for the
information :D
where you able to make Ubuntu 12.10 free?
That is for changing Ubuntu 10.04 to Trisquel 4.0. Please can you tell
updated script link.
Thanks
to make ubuntu 12.10 free, is following the procedure on that page the only
way? Is there a way to find out what non-free is there in ubuntu 12.10 and
then removing it.
I didn't try it yet, but I was thinking of something like vrms
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vrms) but with a lot of changes. Or a little
bit like the your-freedom package like in Parabola GNU/Linux, with just the
need for a simple repository with all the files that need to be changed and
Yes please!

yes, that will be very nice. Even if possible that ubuntu 12.10 can be
cleaned to be free, that is enough for me. I use few softwares and if needed
will compile updates from source.
Atleast first basic would be to replace kernel with linux-libre and find if
things are working proper. Hope ubuntu12.10 did not add non-free dependence
too much.

For this we have a lot of solution, but the best I see is the Trisquel
Solution, as in : Use the same kernel (but the libre version) and change
what is needed to change (and this can really be a hard work to do for a
little team).
But something like the Parabola Gnu/Linux method is quite
I know about that (I saw it on wikipedia before trying it xD). This is why I
was talking about a modified version of vrms. A version that would respect
the name that it stands for.
I will try to see how it works and what can be done, but to me it was the
most promising solution for a

I don't want to be mean but... Ubuntu is getting really ugly in all terms
:S... I use to love this distribution that made me (and a lot of people) came
to Gnu/Linux, but this is just ridicule, just have a look:
- We have the Amazon Icon the Unity's bar that opens
You are right... I start to looking at this from a point and then, after
removing all the problems, I came to the conclusion that everything as
already been done :s...
I even found this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Ubuntu-libre, I've tried it myself

I don't like ubuntu also. with there polices. For example restricted
boot. fedora did a better job than ubuntu. However I want my Gnome-shell

things. Though I am looking at Debian unstable and aptosid. Trying to
decide if
Well I have to be honest with you. I didn't tried a lot of Distributions for
Server, but the ones I've tried, I have to say that, if you want something
easy to use then use Trisquel, if you want something a little bit harder but
better customization, then use Parabola Gnu/Linux.
I would
This is just my opinion, but I never liked Ubuntu, not even from its earliest
days. It was always too buggy. (Although, if you get a black screen at boot,
editing the modeset on the kernel command line in grub.cfg will usually give
graphical windows.) The only thing I learned from Ubuntu
I could make a long post explaining the problem with Ubuntu but I will do
this in that way :
Ubuntu = OsX + Windows + Bugs + Debian
If I could make charts you will see that there was more of Bugs and OsX than
Debian but it is good enough to see how this works :D
But really, I have an
Sorry. I should have said I was talking about ubuntu base but with with
non-free contamination removed. I didn't say Trisquel because of the
context of a script to decontaminate ubuntu.
Re Parabola. I might try it on my newish main monster PC. So thanks for
the offer.

Before Trisquel I used Debian. Despite the software being a little old, it
worked well for me.
I think that for non-technical users it would probably be fine to use (as
long as they have someone to install and do upgrades - like most Windows
users). I know people who happily use old
And I respect totally that :D I always say that, if any community should be
applauded to the work and dedication, it should be the Debian Community (by
community I mostly want to say Developers). It works on every Kernel
(Gnu/Linux, Gnu/Hurd, BSD), it works on every computer and piece of
Wheezy's still in testing, but I think it should be out early next year. The
freeze was a few months ago. I think the Testing is normally releases ~6
months after freeze, give or take.
Debian is great, and they have a large community. But one of the main things
I didn't like was that some
I thought it was already in the stable line :s I can't use the version 6
of Debian because of the kernel, my Asus 1215N needs at least the kernel 3.0
to work properly, but now that I use Parabola and Trisquel this isn't really
and issue :D
I really would love to see a totally free
That's a pity you couldn't install Debian, but it's good that you are happily
running Parabola and Trisquel. Linux is always improving...
For anyone that likes Debian (or uses MIPS), watch this space:
http://www.gnewsense.org/
gNS 3.0 will be based on Squeeze. Two alpha releases of gNS 3.0
Regarding amd64, an installer for alpha 1 was made available:
http://beta.gnewsense.org/gnewsense-three/installer/3.0-alpha1/
So I would assume that the final version would also have a build for amd64.
