I think some aren't free, though.
All wallpaper packages from Mint would be nice (and they're all free.
Although some green pictures should probably have their hue changed a bit to
blue).
Will it use SystemD?
Never mind, I thought Systemd was in Trusty's default repos - from the looks
of it, it actually isn't. My bad.
So 2 years it officially is before I can do a systemd-nspawn again! :)
As somebody who starts from Debootstrap for me a release happens when the
repos are up.
And the repos have been up, alive, and kicking for months now :)
Now, I hope they release Netinstalls!
In terms of free webhosting if you talk about it in one of the rather few
sites that places a decent amount of emphasis on free as in freedom for
something which when the word free is put in front of it is often taken to
mean free-of-charge-ness, talking about anything else that's free, on

Cinnamon is great and elegant! Having said that though I haven't used it
since I removed the Manjaro partition that contained it (since it also
contained non-free things).
In terms of elegance and tidiness I think KDE plasma is a little bit behind.
Not by far, but a little bit behind.
I hadn't. I've just now seen a page on it, went here to edit my post, and I
was too late :)
Anyway, my opinion on KDE Plasma 4 is still that's it isn't as good as
Cinnamon...
Well yes, we'll need to replace the own v. hire thingy with something a bit
more legally true (thanks for noting that!) but at least you get where I was
trying to go with my text

You know, if Trisquel is so concerned about Accessibility I think it's a bit
of a waste that the main site doesn't market it as such.
Actually, to be fair, nothing on the front page really promotes Trisquel. The
closest thing to it is the description that Trisquel is a fully free
operating system which I'd find uninteresting were it not for my interest in
going fully free.
I reckon it'd be more attractive if the front
I think Cinnamon would be better. Or GNOME Shell but make it
RHEL's-Distrowatch-screenshot-esque (Or GNOME Classic but perhaps with the
panel on top, Cairo-dock on the bottom setup).
Vanilla GNOME Shell would take new users for too much of a spin, I think.
Though if Trisquel puts a welcome
Netinstall? I prefer debootstrapping :)
Having said that I think it'd be great if Cinnamion is the default DE in
Trisquel, just open up a new repository for trisquel (other than edition,
edition-updates, and edition-security) and title it belenos-Cinnamon!
As for hardware acceleration I
Considering MATE's and Trisquel's GNOME 2 past, I doubt that'd be a problem.
The GTK+ theme there was supposed to show Trisquel ('s current default
theme) - Unfortunately it got covered in the screenshot by a menu.
Oh, and the shot actually shows Trisquel Dagda.

Yeah, you're right. It was long after my post did I think about it.
I guess the next time somebody brings that (freedom 0 and allowing Free
Software to be re-released unfreely based on it and debating GPL's freeness
based on it) up when it comes to discussing software freedom I can explain
Redhat is. Thoguh the fact that it's been modified by them is more a blow for
your point than to your point.
Actually the GPL sin't focused on total (any better words?) freedom as it

Parabola down the line
I second that - MAnjaro was easily stable enough during the time it spent
as my last not-so-free tenure with GNU/Linux. Would've stayed there had it
had a fully free variant.
Sorry about being a bit off-topic Ben but how Stable/unstable is Parabola and
how often does it break, if it does break often, and what kind of breakage
would that usually be?

Short answer:No.
Long answer: VERY unlikely. If you've got an x86 tablet/phone (and if Android
and all its available apps run well on it that basically means it isn't x86)
you might be lucky,but then it's very difficult (i.e. to boot from the
bootloader to Trisquel's installer) and chances

No problems here - running Abrowser for Toutatis in Belenos.
Justmy 2 cents but why don't have the Australis era of Abrowser named
Bbrowser (or Tbrowser), while keeping Abrowser in the repository for those
who don't want Australis?
Comments on Trisquel 7: Most of the needed things work! (OK, I took GNOME
from the staging PPA).
Problems that I've noticed so far:
- No Abrowser (took it from Toutatis' repo)
- No GRUB (I think one should also be able to take it from Toutatis' repo but
I've got an installation of Toutatis
Actually there is 1 problem: GNOME Shell (well, the 3.12 staging version from
the PPA, actually) doesn't seem to save extensions over reboots, so you
probably wouldn't want its PPA if you're a bit dependant on the extensions.
Another note for those --no-install-recommends lovers is that

I am really disappointed by this. The FSF should build or stand behind in
some way and help fund an OS that keeps up with hardware support as the
drivers are released to make it easier for people to switch to free software.
If they did this I would go out of my way to try to support the FSF
It's available in Settingmore settingstethering (or something like that) on

As far asI know you don't need a seperate app for that, I certainly don't.
You have to enable the script option from plugins .
Thanks, but would you please explain a bit more as I can't quite understand
your answer (If you meant enabling the script then yes, it's enabled, it just
won't work with the players).
That part actually works, what doesn't work is once I click play - it won't
play.
When I use Totem-mozilla , it complains that it's not allowed to play the
media. It also does that when I copy and paste the link of the site into a
Totem window. However, it works perfectly in Abrowser
Actually, from the looks of it,everything works with Abrowser, yet nothing
does with Midori
I tried the one from the PPA (should've said that!) and the HTML5 thing
didn't work on YouTube (worked on a test site pointed to by (I think)
Midori's FAQ).
Anyway, I then installed Iceweasel and the problem I had with Abrowser
looking awful in KDE (which played a part in me avoiding it)
Ask Francis Rowe?
What about doing a netinstall?
I've got a new laptop, installed KDE (admittedly not by installing Triskel,
but by installing the packages I want 1-by-1), and tried to play YouTube

You don't need any hardware upgrades whatsoever - though of course it'll be

OpenOffice isn't GPL-ed yet has been in use on free OSes (and is still used
by FSF-sponsored GnewSense due to being based on Debian Squeeze).
Dedoimedo said that MS-Office would complain about not being able to read

I've never teseted it myself, though, so any evidence that suggests otherwise
are very welcome.
Personally I suggest checking out the Uncomplicated and Flattastix GTK+
themes, I like them.
And Iris looks interesting.
And with a flat GTK+ theme use the +1 Openbox theme (the theme that tries to
mimic Google).
So...Ubuntu has moved to RPM, or Slapt? :p
Anyway, yuou're probably looking for www.gnewsense.org . No Gallium3D there,
though.
Openmailbox has also got a Gb of free space.
I suggest that you use omething that doesn't make you scared of moving e-Mail
providers, though, and Seacloud doesn't look too bad.
It's unto Widnows NT what GNU is unto Unix (OK, not philosophically).
If you think it hasn't got any chance, look at GNU's history.
No, the problem for me was the fact that there wasn't, and still isn't, a
GTK+3 release (well, port in all but code) of the Equinox Evolution themes,
leading me to try to avoid GTK+3 - and the perfect way of doing so is by
using a pre-Oneiric (pre-Brigantia) version.
Even though I asked
Try mkfir, ls, cd, and GNU Nano :p
Because I want to yuse all those new GTK+ themes.
And with all the madness that's showing in the different toolkits that is
somehow grouped under the GTK+3 umbrella that's actually a pretty legitamate
reason.
Not as legitimite as the reasons behind the wait 'till the bl**dy thing is
