if you compile and install from source will you get security updates?

or do you have to just remember which programs you complied and update them

would it get security updates?

Re: [Trisquel-users] Asus Zenbook UX305FA-USM1 compatible with free software

2015-04-22 Thread tomlukeywood

NOTICE:
i don’t own this laptop this is a assessment based on my personal knowledge  
and some info of the laptop found online


It also has windows 8, but that's not a problem either because it will be  
removed.


some new laptops make it very hard to install anything but windows 8(from  
experience)

with the new secure boot
so keep this in mind check when you buy it if you can
install other operating systems on the machine

#

it uses intel integrated graphics which works well with free software

but i would think you would need to use a adaptor for the wifi/bluetooth

so i think it would work(with wifi/bluetooth adpaters)
but it would be far from ideal and as it has a modern non-free BIOS you would  
have no guarantee of what anti-features it would have

such as deliberately making some hardware not work,
backdoors, etc


VERDICT:
i reccomend asking if you can try the laptop for a few hours or a day before  
you buy it to see if everything works

well with free software

from a freedom point of view try thinkpenguin or even better gluglug

you 36TB

are wifi and blue-tooth dosent work without non-free blobs

and the gpu and video decoding drivers
dont work with out non-free blobs

but you don’t need any of theses for the server as
it has a Ethernet port

Who guarantees you that nothing was added to the deb?

i wonder if there’s some kind of checksum a compiler can generate when  
there’s specific source code that you can compare to the binary?


anyone tried this before?

it runs raspbian:
https://www.raspbian.org/

the pi port of debian

and i have made some changes to it
by default the non-free repo's are enabled
in /etc/apt/sources.list

and a few non-free programs are installed

you can check if non-free debian packages are installed
using vrms
also
and remove all the stuff it detects

but still the program that start up the raspberry pi is non-free and  
apparently stops you from using decoding hardware for decoding mpeg-2 and  
VC-1 without a specific key

Re: [Trisquel-users] Good Free Software IDE For Fortran (for Windows)

2015-06-02 Thread tomlukeywood

you can use geany which has fortran syntax highlighting
as a fortran IDE

out of interest why are you compiling on windows?
apart from the freedom aspect
its a terrible developers environment( in my opinion ).
