Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 9 Needs A Name

I think jxself is a god. We should have named it after him! :) Aiming to have had the subsequent Trisquel based on Bionic Beaver is, I sense, at the same time both over-ambitious and underambitious.

2017-10-27 Thread nospam
I think Trisquel 8.0 should be Trisquel 9.0. Trisquel, if it is to remain in sync with Ubuntu, should follow the current Ubuntu LTS. Since 8.0 still has not materialized, we should take advantage of this "opportunity", and re-set to release 8.0 based on Ubuntu 18.04. (Bionic Beaver?) Why

Trisquel 7.0 is dated now. Trisquel 8.0 is overdue, still unreleased and will be outdated if it ever is released, as it is based on a Ubuntu LTS which is soon to be superceded. I think many people would agree that Ruben doesn't have the time he needs to continue to maintain Trisquel as it

1) During update of Flidas beta, the kernel is refered to as "linux", which as we know is non-Free. I think this dialogue ought to be edited so that a Free kernel is specified, such as "linux-libre". Try: uname -r The response is (worryingly) 4.4.0-79-generic 2) Flidas should support

How does Iran factor into this discussion? I believe Iran is not signatory to international copyright laws. It is quite legal there, I believe, to for instance download a torrent of an album of music, make it into a CD and sell it.

Thanks, Megver83 I looked at the Alpha of Trisquel today. I tried a simple installation, and it worked well enough. I will try again, and check if i can find this functionality. I hadn't heard of that spin of Arch, btw. Thanks again.
