Since I couldn't find any real reviews, I basically re-approprated those comment threads to see if I could glean any objective info from them. I'm upgrading from an 802.11g router which has handled well everything I've thrown at it, so I suspect an 802.11n router with 300Mb/s theoretical

Thanks very much for your input. I believe you're right about this line of reputation. If I want any more info I should probably look into people's experiences with OpenWRT.

[Trisquel-users] No SCUMMVM in Trisquel 7?

My next question is how to enable DHT. Transmission supports magnet links and I feel like that has something to do with DHT. I just started the torrent on my Pi and it seems to be downloading even though the warning not authorized for use with this tracker stays visible.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Cannot install gtl2.0-dev

A couple of us are encountering this problem. It's bad because you need gtk dev to compile lots of code. I managed to fiddle with Synaptic to quickfix it. I hope it can be fixed once and for all 6.0.1 users in the future, but until then, please try my solution here:

I finally managed to fix this as well using Synaptic, but it was tricky. I had to try to install libcairo2-dev, get an error message. Then I clicked Mark all upgrades which included DOWNGRADING libcairo2. After that I was able to install libcairo2-dev and libgtk2.0-dev Thank goodness!
