MSuzuqi San,
As I understood, you are both new to GNU/Linux and you are concerned with
your security and privacy. Good security requires good understanding of the
system. You can always change your GNU/Linux distribution or tune your system
settings for best security later, when you have

For sure. It's too bad that I can only upvote this once.
Thank you very much.
Yes, I had the same idea as I also wanted to have my own web page, the
problem is, my internet really sucks (disconnects all the time) and I don't
have an static IP either (I guess there are some alternatives to this point).
Maybe it's time to talk with my internet provider ...
I checked riseup's site but I don't know how to get an invitation ticket :/

To clarify, nothing in FreeSlack comes directly from SBo. FreeSlack does not
endorse SBo, and neither endorses nor provides any tools to
I can only recommend two: riseup and cock.li (the latter has several domains
if a mail with cocks does not fit your standards)
In the past I ran the gnome-flashback Trisquel on an atom with 1 gb of RAM

Yes, they still have 2 proprietary firmware (the hard drive and the embedded

Thanks for sharing your point of view, you have some good points.

sigaint is closed but the others are viable.
I think these two are the best you can find https://posteo.de( but you have
to pay a small fee) or https://riseup.net/.

Long time ago, I bought a raspberry pi for 35 dollars, and I installed on it
citadel. At the same time for 50 dollars I bought my own domain name for 10
years and in a week I had my personal email set up on the pi. The best way to

I would like to see them case by case basis, save "steering" users to
non-free solutions, or subtle incompatibilities between DFSG and certain
licenses (IIRC some man pages and other documentation
Of course it is. The opposite would mean DRM! But FSF-endorsed
distributions do not steer users towards nonfree software. Here is the whole
paragraph in the FSDG:
A free system distribution must not steer users towards obtaining any nonfree
information for practical use, or encourage
Currently I'm using google's email service but I would like to move onto a

you suggest some? The only requirement is that it has to be free (in cost) as
I have no way of paying for it.
> As far as I remember, "contrib" and "nonfree" are disabled by default. As a
consequence, no "do it yourself" "process of disabling the other
repositories" is required.
I would agree to that. Unless one goes out of one's way and *add* (opposed to
"enable") non-free repositories, Debian is
Also, if I'm not mistaken, even Debian's "main" repository has some GNU FSDG
issues, so even if one manages to "do it yourself" the process of disabling
the other repositories, you still end up with possibly non-free software.

I assume the FSF hired Rubén because he was a good candidate for the job
position they were seeking to fill (maybe Rubén applied for the job also, I
dont know). Don't you think it would be fair if he did not get a job as a
sysadmin at FSF because he helps to make an FSF endorsed distro in
And of course, most importantly, if you have the time and want to assume the
worst case for all software, you can look at the licenses (I assume that's
what you mean by worst case, otherwise I suppose you'll have to actually
audit every line of the code, which comes back to my questining the

As stated before, Freedombox can be installed on Debian and Debian is not a
FSF endorsed distribution,
I totaly respect Ruben, the fact is that fsf use Trisquel, and they recommend
it to newcomers, hire Ruben to work with them was a bad move, but this is
just my opinion, instead of hire the main developer of one of the best free
sistems out there they should have hired someone else, or maybe

3gb are fine, you should install Trisquel 64 bits, and then install lxde.
LXDE is best in lightness/desktop-features ratio. Trisquel's GNOME2 is fine.
You really only need more ram if you run your browser with much tabs and at
the same time playing huge 3d games for example, I recommend to
