yuupiii! Thanks, thanks, thanks... but thanks is not enough as I see. what can I do to be honorable, to be thankfull to your help, to the help of this fórum? I would be waitting for you to tell me...

Thank you all!!! I am in the process of resolving the problem. Actually I have installed tails linux in a usb and I am working on it... I passed by only to say thanks, but if I have another question or if I (we actually, you included of course!) resolve the problem I will say something... see you!
[Trisquel-users] Lost password on Trisquel machine!
Hello to all. I came here because none of the other forums could helped me. I am not using Trisquel anymore, although I consider the concept interesting, but not practical, anyway...I have some photos in the disk, that I would like to retrieve, particularly photos of my then pregnant wife. It is somewhat important to us to get those unique photos that we store on that trisquel computer. The thing is I don't know any more, what was my password then... I have two accounts on that machine, one mine, and the other of my wife. We (me and my wife) could enter in my wife account, because we know the password of her account, but the photos we need were stored in my account, because I am the "linux" person in the house, she never cared much using linux and her account. I've seen some other forum, but that didn't help much because of one simple reason, that irritates me a lot (sorrY): When I click in the advance mode, the computer prompts right away to enter username, and then password! That's exactly what I don't know! It didn't make much sense... I am handed thigh in this situation! With this set of informations could anyone help me? Please. Thanks in advance and I will consider contribute more for real free software like trisquel Linux.

Re: [Trisquel-users] FSF adds PureOS to list of endorsed GNU/Linux distributions
I understand their arguments: They are envy! Because no one is more pure than them and their software whatever Os they are using! I said in the past, and that's the main reason for me to leave Trisquel community that that thing of free software is just a concept, an ideal... In practical terms it's impossible to be totally free as it is impossible to be totally Good or Bad: total Impossible! We are interdependent and conjugated with so many things in life that we could not say so, that we are free, that we are 100% goods and so on... It takes being very much credulous to believe in it! This obsession with the concept "free software" then degenerate very quickly to other fields, with people assuming very sect-alike and fanaticism behaviour. I always maintain: "free software" is just a concept, an ideal that doesn't meet the real world. With that said and referring me to the topic: I am very content that FSF endorsed this OS. Anyway I think they always have to broaden their concept of "free software", and not be so picky on that,or they will not have a list any more in the future... I will try pureOS in one of my machines, or more sincerely I will buy another just to test this very interesting OS. This is
Re: [Trisquel-users] Who of this community honestly runs Trisquel GNU/Linux?
> Why? It's in front of your very eyes! Think for a second... The majority of the comments use another SO, for this or that. Nothing is free, it's just a maniqueist concept, a good ideal.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Who of this community honestly runs Trisquel GNU/Linux?
I use mainly Trisquel. One old laptop runs Trisquel, and the new one, that my wife use mostly runs Xubuntu. I would like to say that I am not a purist of Trisquel... But free software concept is a good one but not real as we see.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Wireless not working
Excellent reply, but it did not convinced me. →"According to the philosophy underlying modern Western legal systems, the burden of proof is on the one who brings accusations." + → "I just would like to add that youtube-dl is free software. Like Firefox is free software even if it does not block proprietary JavaScript, GNU/Linux is free software even if it can run proprietary binaries, etc." || Let's simplify it, let's call everything in the repos of Trisquel free-software and the job is done, simply as that! That one of the proof is very funny. Your god RMS is all the time saying that others OS's are dangerous because they run malicious software, where is the prove in one specific case? Or he says it just because he wants to! And that naive idea that free-software is free just because the community have the freedom to investigate the code, doesn't stick any more. Where are the programmers to do it if they are so scarce and probably using their time to other things more profitable? Tell that to another... In Math if you want to prove that a theorem is wrong, you just have to find one proposition that negates it! Them that theorem becomes an Inconsistency, that what is the idea of free-software. But I believe in the future more inconsistency’s will arise against this purism of free-software, this manichaeist idea of "we are right the others are wrong", this so, but so much overrated concept...
Re: [Trisquel-users] Wireless not working
Honestly, honestly I was being cynical with him. And because he is a smart guy he doesn't answer, so I had assumed that he perceived my cynicism. But I have a point, of course, I am here in Trisquel for about 1 year, and some things started to smell too funny for me. Of course somebody is maybe (always "maybe"!) protecting the "business" of think penguin and technoethical, maybe they have a part on it, maybe... But one things are for sure: 1. The prices of them are just pornographic! 2. If there are real and concise knowledge on how to liberate the wi fi cards, we wouldn't need to buy them. 3. Of course h-node is not the perfect solution. One simple question why we have to register to access the "knowledge"? And overall is very cryptic. The free-software thing, that so many like to divinize in this forum, is just a concept! Nothing more! As we see with youtube-dl that supposed to be a free-software, it runs apparently non free JavaScript! And that is just one program, there are millions! Who's gonna check if the software is really free or not, when there is no time nor means to do it? So is resoundingly only one concept and nothing more than that. They claim so purely: this is free-software operating system! But when comes the time to prove it, they can't!

Re: [Trisquel-users] Wireless not working
I had talked about this problem in the forum more than once. But please permit me to repeat: The wireless thing is big factor for people to go away from Trisquel. We are told always the solution: buy in think penguim a wireless card, but if the prices are too high for our wallets, is there not any other solution? yes there are, liberate and condensate the knowledge on how to get around that big problem by other means: 1. A site or document with update wireless cards that do function on Trisquel; 2. that site or document could contain the brands of computers and laptops that function with no problem with Trisquel; 3.That site or document could contain also information on how to get around the wireless problem by other means (code, installing a specific program in order to avoid, get around or isolate that specific problem, or else). If we continue to ignore this problem it is a big exit door for newbies and people who being in Trisquel want to switch to a more modern laptop. have said that before on at least two ocasions. I am now switching for Debian for that reason, but still using trisquel on the old computer.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Problem with external wifi adapter D-Link
"I have not time to argue, so I will only respond to comments that seems to me that are honest, and that seems to me that are going to somewhere meaningful." It seems to me that we are entering in some sort of philosophical questions that leads us nowhere. What is wrong and what is right, freedom is also (for me) a concept so it is better not lose time in this type of questions. what I have to say is: I always prefer free software over non-free software hardware, but if I have no choice I will use non-free software even knowing that it is not a good principle. Knowing that non-free software is bad for freedom is something, even if I have to use it. I always give primacy to what is most convenient for me. From the day one, I always have refused, and identified in some persons here in the forum, some sort of Sect type behavior, even in relation to RMS says and thinks and writes. I want to stay clear that I don't always agree with what RMS says, but I believe in some vision he has, and respect him and is mission a lot. And I don't follow nor like sects! Finally I want to thank to all the help and information that this forum has given me. I am grateful to you all. Hugs
Re: [Trisquel-users] Problem with external wifi adapter D-Link
which is what we all do. You rationalize to keep up with free software, I rationalize or make excuses (that was funny) to get out. You are so pure, keep it to yourself, you will be in the heaven of free software users. Common! Do we need to go to that moralist conversation?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Problem with external wifi adapter D-Link
->The free software movement fails when users embrace proprietary whenever it brings a little practical convenience Little practice convenience? My new laptop is smaller, lighter, more fast, with more battery life, etc, etc. And I need to work/study now not tomorrow. Which can be of more practical convenience? we all know that in almost new laptops Trisquel fails to work one way or another. In this one lenovo x220 laptop it was (at first) the wireless thing, but then was also the bluetooth not working and (forgot to mention also) the mouse pointer was very unstable, always shaking,etc. I had wait very time for the two wireless adapters that at last doesn't work; wasting more time waiting for another (with the risk of failling to) and resolving the new problems? I don't think so... There are things with more priority than using free software in my life. ->why would manufacturer ship free firmware if almost all users accept proprietary firmware (and the malware it probably includes)? I thing that is a lost battle! Even if there are some purists here in the forum, I ask how many of us don't use smartphone, or have a google account, see youtube,etc, etc. In general with the risk of using proprietary firmware some way or another? Yesterday with is threat in the forum: https://trisquel.info/en/forum/do-youtube-dlhtml5-video-everywhere-run-nonfree-js we all came to know that even a free project like youtube-dl (that is part of the Trisquel repos) possible uses non-free js! Have we so sure that other projects in the free software repos don't use proprietary software? who is checking if there are no time for it? At the end is just conceptual, if somebody tell me 'hey use this, is free software', I just accept, in principle! I can't do much: or I'll trust or not trust. But I will never have time to confirm if it is or not, because we all have limited time, limited personnel,limited resources, and limited knowledge. But this works for big company’s that use non free software too, even if they have more personnel, more knowledge and more time; at the end they too have a limit, and have to make choices. They can't spy us all, because if they do it they would risk the bankruptcy or have to change their trade to maybe espionage, or something; which maybe it is not more profitable than what they do. ->two companies sell freedom-respecting devices and ship worldwide. with not very ethical prices! A better solution was someone with knowledge, concentrate the information on how to make a laptop, or a desktop, which are the parts, that work entirely well with free-software; which are the laptops that works with free-software; and let us assembly the machines. We have limited money, and have priorities on to use that money. I understand that that was not too good for those company's, but or we drop the company's in favour of free software, free information, and a free OS or we benefit those company's and lose people. Which is more important!
Re: [Trisquel-users] Problem with external wifi adapter D-Link
Unfortunately I end up installing debian 8 non-free on the lenovo. After the wifi-problem there was the bluetooth problem that was unnable to receive files from my smartphone, and who knows what will come next... I am kind of regretted because I know I am taking steps away from freedom of software but I had no choice, I have to work, I have (like almost all of us) very little time, I have to study too and have not unlimited time like I said. It had to be that way! If disposal of free were more available, and the prices more attractive, if I had more time or technical knowledge, maybe the choice was another. Seriously I begin to doubt if the free software project will ever be success or it is doomed to be just another kind of technological fetish, if you know what I mean... Sorry guys but my new laptop end up with another distro due to all those things mentioned.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Problem with external wifi adapter D-Link

Re: [Trisquel-users] Problem with external wifi adapter D-Link
Thanks for the response. That is a good price for me. but someone have to do anything in relation to wifi wireless. I mean without them we can't work! If I buy that one, believe me it will be the third adapter that I bought, with the risk of not working too!
Re: [Trisquel-users] Problem with external wifi adapter D-Link
Thanks for the response, I had seen those products and they are really expensive for my wallet. In fact when I'd tried this item that I bought it was because somebody told me ( maybe wrongly) that I can do it some other way avoiding unnecessary costs. And I still believe I can with some research and time. But thanks anyway.
[Trisquel-users] Problem with external wifi adapter D-Link
Hello everybody, I hope you all are good. I have this problem that I told in the title but let me contextualize it first if you don't mind: I have bought an lenono thinkpad x220, which I like a lot. I installed Trisquel in it but I found that the wireless wouldn't work. Somebody has told me that if I bought an external wifi adapter I could resolve my wifi problem in the lenovo thinkpad x220 so I bought this one on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/272519323237?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Due to my responsabilities (job, family, music and things) I only find time yesterday to try this item that I bought.But it doesn't automatically connect to wifi, nor first of all can see it instantly in the system. When I connect the pen I note some charge on the system, and the top command shows this process: →systemd-udevd consuming almost 65% of the processor time. When I do lsusb there is this entrance: →Bus 002 Device 004: ID xxx D-Link System DWA-140 ... I've done some research and find this page (which I don't know if it applies here in Trisquel, because ubuntu is not free!): https://askubuntu.com/questions/319280/problems-with-d-link-usb-wifi-adapter#319592 have done the command: →ls /lib/firmware | grep carl and it shows: →carl9170-1.fw when I try to do the next step: →sudo apt-get install linux-firmware It doesn't find nothing, maybe because it is not free nor part of the repos. So I research again, this time on Trisquel forum and find this thread: https://trisquel.info/en/forum/help-thinkpenguin-wireless-usb-adapter-n And it is said to get the firmware frome.g. http://jxself.org/ath9k-htc/, but the page is no more. So this is my position right now: kind of stuck. I know I have to get the ath9k-htc firmware... where did I find it and how I install it? This will resolve my wireless problem? have you done this steps too? And first of all this firmware is free??? If anyone of you could lend me a hand on this It would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance and have patient on me please. Thanks again!

[Trisquel-users] Paypal is totally out of my circle of confidence, ebay might come to be.
First of all a big hello to this wonderful community, fighters for the freedom and some justice in this vast cynical world: a big hug with love to all. Second, I am a little bit in rage mode, and third, English is not my mother tong, so I might commit some errors expressing myself an this two last factors may have some influence in it. So let me say for me paypal=garbage. I am tired of the dishonest behaviour of them, so I exclude them totally of my white list so for me paypal is totally equal to sh*t. But enough talking, lets support my saying with some facts. First, in the past when I had an account, when I had a problem with some item that I bought on ebay the reffund was going directly to my account. Some time after the refund would go to the paypal account, and no matter what I did, I can't redeem it to my bank account. But ok I give them a pass on that... Them some time after they ask to Withdraw money from my account in order to certify my card, and said that they will give the money back if I give them back some 4 digit code that appears on the transaction. I agree, and guess what: they send me not a 4-digit code but a 3 digit (see atachment!). That was the drop of water for me, they stole me 1.50€, and OK I closed my account immediately. They never ask me why I was leaving or why I take that decision, nothing! And I was with paypal doing purchases on ebay mostly by almost 3 years. Great! Then I started purchasing on ebay by using my debit card directly, no problem so far until 3 days ago. I bought an hdd by the price 19.34 and in my bank account was withdrawn 20.14. I call the bank and they said that PAYPAL has withdrawn the 20.14€. Paypal again? I become to realyze that paypal always has a part on the process of doing purchases on ebay, always, even if it is with your direct debit card! So I send this message to ebay (I totally refuse to talk with paypal!): "I have this problem: I bought an item recently in the value of 19.34€, but in my bank account I was withdraw 20.14€. I had call to the bank and the bank said that paypal has discounted that value in my account and that I could make a police case if I want to. 1 I had bad experiences with paypal after, and I recently close my paypal account for that matters, and starting paying the items I purchase with my debit card directly. Now I come to realize that paypal still have a part on the process of me buying on ebay! I am not pleased with that! It's not by the value per se but buy the attitude: I'd like to have my questions above clarified and I would like to have the money difference (0.80€) in my account, please. More: I will not talk to paypal, they want they call me. Thank you very much, I will looking forward for an answer." And I am waiting for an answer from their part. If they give me an unsatisfactory response I will end up right away with ebay! I simply can not deal with a person that is primary partner is a total dishonest guy, I exclude both! I am furious with them, and obviously it is not by the values 'per se' it is the attitude. How can I trust making future purchases, if I don't have confident on them, I will never know the value that they will withdraw from me! Unacceptable! What is your experience with paypal, and ebay for that matters? where and how do you do your purchases? (see atachments, this is not small talk, I prove what I say.) Bye and best of the world for you.

[Trisquel-users] lenovo x200 thinkpad wireless external adapter
Hello everybody, I hope you all are fine. First of all, I know this topic has been discussed on the forum sometimes, but as the topics are blocked (a thing that I don't understand very well...) I resolve to initiate a new one here. So, sorry and thanks in advance for you patience. A couple of months ago I bought a lenovo thinkpad x200 to a friend. It was a good deal I think because I managed to pay only 200€ for it. I was excited and then I try to move from my old emachines e620 Gnu/Linux Trisquel laptop to that recent one, but I failed. And failed why? There was no wireless signal after the Trisquel installation on the Lenovo x200. I did some research of this incredible forum and came to know that wireless it was not possible in a x200 lenovo laptop. Somebody suggest to buy internal or external wi-fi card/adapter on thinkpenguin store, but super honestly the prices are too high in my opinion. So I heard that maybe an atheros wifi internal card would fit, and I bought this on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Apple-Atheros-AR5BXB112-AR9380-450Mbps-Mini-PCI-E-Wifi-Card-for-Dell-Acer-Asus-/190722777110?hash=item2c67f6a016:g:rMUAAOSwk1JWfK~M But guess what, no. This don't do the wireless thing on a lenovo x200! I consider to forget Trisquel and move to Debian or Ubuntu, but as I am stubborn (And like freedom and free software!), I will try and external wifi adapter, and won't mind to carry it with me all the time. My question is: I may buy an external adapter on ebay for cheep, but and then if I have the same problem? I would very much count with your experience on this, and ask for your help here, please. I would thank you a lot on this one. My goal is simply continue to use Trisquel, but on a lenovo thinkpad x200. Hugs to all and have a good week. cheers

[Trisquel-users] problem with abrowser - videos start playing by themselves!
I have this problem that started a few days ago and I don't know why! The thing is if I go to a site with videos, they start playing (the sound not the image) all together at the same time. Not in youtube! In youtube if I clic a video they start twice, I mean the image is one but the sound is as if I had opened the same video in another page (twice the sound, one on top of the other). Please forgive my english, I hope you had understood. Can you give me a hand here, many thanks in advance. cheers

Re: [Trisquel-users] I need orientation for buying an Arduino
buy the arduino uno.

You could (as I did) buy arduino uno copy on ebay for half the price of the original. And it works exactly the same way and with the very same components. If you have time to give, is so cool... Keep going on!

Re: [Trisquel-users] Just a friendly reminder that Trisquel 7.0 is not outdated
Everyone talks about parabola. It is that so ahead of Trisquel? If it's free soft I think I would give it a try in one of my machines, I guess. Seriously Parabola is that so much better than Trisquel?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Just a friendly reminder that Trisquel 7.0 is not outdated
Overall I absolutely agree with what you write, especially this part: Free Software is about ethics and respect freedom of the user. Free Software is more important than convenience or shiny. But I think you miss one point: people were asking a lot by security updates. And that is most important! Because, yes, window 7 is a lot older, but they make security updates all the time! I don't mind using trisquel ( I love it) but I have to think twice if the system stop being secure at some time. But overall I agree with what you said.

Re: [Trisquel-users] could I install trisquel on a thinkpad with intel i5 processor?
If I do not sell the laptop again I'll install debian. That's the least I can do... for me. But I have a second line of defense, just in case: I always encrypt my sensible information, if the OS is free (as in freedom) or not, so I am secure in some way.

Re: [Trisquel-users] could I install trisquel on a thinkpad with intel i5 processor?
oh My God! I don't have problems with disassembly laptops, that one thing which I do as a hobby to gain some extra money. But I think I made a mistake here! Because the other day I saw in the libreboot site that they had lenovo thinkpad x200 with libreeboot, I tocked a chance and bought this one from one of my hobby-job client. I screw it up, I think. I tocked as granted that I would install Trisquel easily on this machine, and change from my sweet old emachines to this new one! Well, what are my options: -> install other linux distro, with non-free software (mint, ubuntu-mate?); -> resell this laptop again. I don't know yet, because I like this new machine (has an excellent battery life!), and above all is Lightweight and easy to carry. On the other side, and because I am a little of a penny pincher, I bought it for a good price, so at least I won't lose money, I am sure of that. The truth is that I don't know yet. Specs of my new laptop : http://www.notebookreview.com/notebookreview/lenovo-thinkpad-x220-review/ Is so beauty ain't is?
[Trisquel-users] could I install trisquel on a thinkpad with intel i5 processor?
Hello everybody! I ask this because when I do the Dowload of the Iso image always came down as a amd64.iso. Thanks to all the forum

Re: [Trisquel-users] Libre LISP interpreters?
well I open to suggestions. I am (trying) to study the sicp pdf and it's about scheme not commonLisp. I found guile but, I don't know why , I uninstalled it. I think I use mit-scheme ( I manage to finally install the 9.2 version) because I found also good documentation about it. But please suggest me another, I will start to study scheme by this book: http://web.mit.edu/alexmv/6.S184/sicp.pdf. So what do you suggest? I f I like I'll certainly follow the advise. many thanks
Re: [Trisquel-users] how do you read your books: pdf or html?
I am a little bit antiquate I confess. I usually read my pdf books with a pdf reader, evince in the moment. I believe the next logical question for me to make is: it's better to read a book in pdf or in epub? There is any quality-significant difference between the two? And If I want to download epubs where I could find them? don't answer if you feel compromised in any way... you could e-mail me I suppose, for the sake of anonymity. Best regards

Good day everyone. I done it! Using the portable C instalation of scheme I made it! Altoght my pc was compiling it almost 3 hours ( I have an old laptop -> my sweet emachines e620 with 4GB RAM) trough the night. I've done it some way. he he he. closed topic And thanks to all.

Re: [Trisquel-users] What other forums so you use and recommend?
This is so stupid. If you not call it Gnu/Linux you will burn in hell forever. Am I the only one (plus spooky) to see the pathetic of this debate? All the rest say "Amen"??? I ask a question and somebody comes with a note: "it is not Linux is Gnu/Linux!!!" And that somebody doesn't answer the question being made! It is Gnu/linux and not linux -> correct 100%. But I want to call it just Linux (yes because of this silly discussion!). I am not a preacher, I am not a missionary, I don't have to call the OS Gnu/linux if I don't want to! If I in my conscience support the movement from time to time (because I want). Nobody will tell me what to say. now that is bee free, isn't it? This sect-like reaction is purely and simply pathetic and I do not agree with it nor I will ever agree. Now give me that minus signs if I care!
Re: [Trisquel-users] why in gnu/linux is so super-complicated/super-annoying to install something from source... God!

Re: [Trisquel-users] why in gnu/linux is so super-complicated/super-annoying to install something from source... God!
Hello again. It's time for me to explain my episode. But first of all I would like to make a side question: how do you put that pink-forcode-frame in your statements? I would like to use it in the future, in code related posts that I would do. Explaining my situation: I had installed mit-scheme from command line like so: -> sudo apt-get install mit-scheme Everything all right, the program runs smoothly and all the rest... As I wanted to learn how to function with this particular program, I downloaded a pdf file of the manual (this one: https://www.gnu.org/software/mit-scheme/documentation/mit-scheme-user.pdf). But then and realize that I was using an older version of the program so most of the examples didn't apply for the program version I downloaded from the repositories ( version 9.1.1). So I dig in and downloaded the tar file of the new most stable version: MIT/GNU Scheme 9.2. I downloaded the tar file from here: http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mit-scheme/stable.pkg/9.2/. I untar it, moved to the new folder, move again for the src/ folder, apply the Gnu/Linux Universal sequence: ->./configure -> make -> make install And voilà, an error as usual in the make step. I read the README.txt file very carefully added the ->./Setup.sh step that I was missing before the ./configure step, but again: error in the make step. Incredible! I am missing something??? Why is this so cryptic to install some program from source in Gnu/linux? Have I first to swallow a thousand-page manual to succeed??? all that I want is the new version of the program! Everybody knows that in the repositories they only have the older version! Have patient with me... Many many thanks p.s. I will give you the error message in-a-minute, sorry p.s.1 The thing here -and hence my frustation/irritation of yesterday is that from my experience, everytime I need to install from source a programe I only suceed in 1/8 of the time. And I (think) always do the right steps: 1 -> untar de file; 2-> move to the new directory; 3-> do the "./configure", "make" and "sudo make install" sequence 4->read the README.txt file and apply the required adjustments if needed
Re: [Trisquel-users] What other forums so you use and recommend?
Curious I started with C programming and right now I am studying lisp-scheme by that book that I gave the link above.
[Trisquel-users] why in gnu/linux is so super-complicated/super-annoying to install something from source... God!
Sorry for my frustration and irritation. Just trying to install gnu/mit-scheme 9.2 from source and, despite several attempts, I simply can't. I do every-time, every little instruction "by-the-book", as they give me on tutorials or documentation and in the end always can't install a program from source. This is so, but so irritating, so much time wasted for nothing...God! what I am doing wrong, why is always so problematic to install something in the gnu/linux world? p.s. I'll be back for the details.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Libre LISP interpreters?
I am also studying lisp for myself but using mit-scheme 9.1.1. I tried yesterday to install 9.2 but didn't manage to do so. gave me an error when I do the make step. maybe it was because I had 9.1 installed, I will try right away I and hope I'll manage it.

[Trisquel-users] how do you read your books: pdf or html?
Hi to all the people of this beautiful forum. First of all Let me contextualize the question and be more specific: I am talking about free books that one can found freely in the web. I n my case more like Tech books but could be from others areas of literature. A more specific question should be: what is better to use: reading one book trough the browser (html) or reading the same using pdf file. What is less computer resource consuming, energy saving, etc. I hope you understand my question. Many many thanks in advance.
Re: [Trisquel-users] How about we send a mail to the fsf, Trisquel could use some help.
Do you mind that I'll send a copy of your text? esperando una respuesta. Gracias...
Re: [Trisquel-users] How about we send a mail to the fsf, Trisquel could use some help.
I will send the letter as Ignacio wrote it. But I still continue with that which was my point in the first place: if we donate in the behalf of Gnu/Linux Triquel distro they will understand and give more time of work for this wonderful distro. let's start that crowd funding. I am in on that
Re: [Trisquel-users] What other forums so you use and recommend?
->Most people know nothing about RMS and GNU, while using Ubuntu Linux. That is true I go to a ubuntu meeting every month here in Portugal, and they don't know nothing about RMS and GNU, they only use Ubuntu not knowing that some programs in Ubuntu don't respect their freedom. I think we are on the same page on that. But I read GNU and RMS FSF site and the other day he was here in Portugal, and I'd go to is conference, a really nice one about surveillance and Democracy. I am with you on that one!
Re: [Trisquel-users] What other forums so you use and recommend?
You have the point. I learned something from your explanation, thanks.
Re: [Trisquel-users] What other forums so you use and recommend?
->Firstly, out of curiosity, is there any particular reason you find "Linux" easier to say than "GNU/Linux"? It's obviously one syllable shorter (two if you break the gn), but I find it interesting that you find it harder to say. R.:I could start saying GNU/Linux, I admit is the real correct term. But every time I used it they go like: "what/Linux!? I understood Linux, is that Linux that you use?" and to simplify I say "yes, Linux". And we go from there...Linux is better known, is a fact. Now in relation to the debate above: The question here was that the note was made like (At least I felt it that way, I could be wrong): "You have made a sacrilege, you have to redeem yourself". And that's the kind of behaviour I had saw in other forums that I intentionally left from. Is like some guys (I am talking of that other forum that I left not from here!!!) have the truth and the new ones have to be submissive, and that annoys me. It's a pattern that repeats itself and don't have to. But maybe it's a trauma of mine...
Re: [Trisquel-users] What other forums so you use and recommend?
Ok I'll frame my position in relation to programming and Sysadmin: In the long run I would like (if I remain persistent like I am) to change my job. I am not in tech area. I've learned C programming a 2 year ago and indeed had good score on that course I'made. but apart from exercises and some little programs that I do in C4droid in my smartphone I never really saw when to use C in a consistent way. Well, then I knew in Gnu/linux one really could apply C programming particularly in networking (another one of too many areas that I like) and even by learning some other languages (python/scheme, bashShell) I could became something and pretend - who knows - change my job. That with my love to freedom, free software, knowledge, real democracy, etc, etc. brings me to were I am know: in this beautiful forum, in the world of GNU/linux. I hope it's not too much that I want to move to a better job, after all, we all want a better position in life, right? About the links you gave: Now that's a good list! That's what I am asking about! terrific! Hugs p.s. Do you speak portuguese? se sim, espectaculo!
Re: [Trisquel-users] What other forums so you use and recommend?
Thanks... Lisp I remenber Dr. Stallman wrote something about Lisp being is prefered language. I reciprocate and give you the link for this book http://web.mit.edu/alexmv/6.S184/sicp.pdf. It's one that I begin to read yesterday an highly regarded book about scheme (a Lisp variant). One note: amazon ans others are is selling this book when this book is at the same time have some sort of free license there... Anyway is an highly regarded book.
Re: [Trisquel-users] What other forums so you use and recommend?
Is this a religious site or what? have I committed some sort of sacrilege? this is ridiculous... Dude, if I go out there and an acquaintance of mine ask me about what is that strange OS that you use, it is more simple to me that respond: "It's linux" rather than Gnu/linux. If he some day want to install linux I suggest mint because it's more easy. Then some day I talk him about totally free software and Gnu. That's what I normally do. And no, your friend didn't answer the question being made just wrote a clever annotation. One that I already knew.
Re: [Trisquel-users] What other forums so you use and recommend?
Do you Sir reply just to say That? I know is Gnu/linux, it was not on purpose when I forgot to use the GNU. Is it to bad just to say linux instead of Gnu/Linux? I think if you reply only to make that annotation, and don't give a answer to the question baing made... well... I don't see the point of it! But sure is Gnu/Linux not just linux. You have reason on that, my fault!
[Trisquel-users] What other forums so you use and recommend?
Hello forum. That's my question as in the title. Imagine that I want to became more pro in linux, linux Sysadmin, programmer and so on... what forums do you use? what do you recommend? note: more like technical linux forums not chats, I don't have much time to waist. Best regards to all Hugs.

Re: [Trisquel-users] An alternative to gmail
Of course I am! Reading it right now... Today I installed Gnupg in the sequence of have installed and configure Icedove (not done yet some other programs are needed and are not in the trisquel repositories, so I have to do the installation manually, so I guess I'll have to postpone the Enigmail installation). But yes, I am educating my self on this Gnupg and private/public keys things, very important things! many thanks for the precious links there!
Re: [Trisquel-users] An alternative to gmail
Nice list there. It's allways good to know. But I think I'll use that of the IceDove with email encription using gpg as sugested by onpon4. It's always something better than my actual position. Many thanks and still is a good link these one!
