Interesting!
A question about kernels, what are linux-generic-headers packages, and why
are they sometimes held back when I run sudo apt-get upgrade?
Apparently they're used to build third-party modules for your kernel.
Sometimes you need to dist-upgrade instead. From the manual page of
apt-get(8):
FWIW I'm on 64 bit Trisquel 6. Abrowser 39 + NoScript - Gnash. Very solid
experience, as always.
It just means the module won't be automatically loaded. (Unless required by
some other module.) There should be no freedom implications since all the
modules in Trisquel are free.

You can put the command to /etc/rc.local. You need to be a super user to edit

Hi there! I'd say start with the Synaptic package manager under system

of packages are offered. Learn about dependencies and how those are
