Think Penguin has very good customer support
I booted into Linux from grub within 5 seconds
the linux kernel was loaded but most of the system you loaded was gnu
thats why its best to call it gnu/linux

Wlecome to freedom, klepto!
Amazingly I have received my Snares Penguin. I ordered it last Thursday night
and I'm using it right now.
It came with very secure packaging and the first time I ever order a PC that
came with a GPL offer to provide the source material.
The quality and form factor is great. I booted into Linux
I'm using a Snares myself, and it's fantastic. Excellent build quality, great
support. Support has all the answers and commonly responds quickly.
What do you mean by licensing?
He's talking about the laptop Think Penguin sells.

About Snares, What version are you using and what licensing? Server or home
use?
If you buy your laptop you can select the warranty. On your Laptop there are
four sorts of warranty so you can choose what you want.
My old (very chep) Acer Extensa 5220 laptop works fine with Debian stable
(beside an impossible wlan card). Especially since I replaced the old (in the
end quite wonky) hard disc with a new solid state disk. Unfortunately the
hardware seems to reach it's limit slowly. The mouse keeps getting
If you support FaiF, and you are a truly devoted Trisquel user,
I strongly recommend moving to Think Penguin. Outside the Lemote,
this is the best hardware for FSF/GNU/FaiF hackers, from ease
of use to company support (and a pretty nifty community).

it's sold out)

mouse button on the keyboard thing compared to a touch pad
Thanks everyone for the help,
I'm definitely getting the Snares.I saw from the pics that it is easy to get
access to the hardware for replacement. I dunno what I was thinking because
the Wee Penguin worked perfectly out of the box.
I bought 3 minipcs last year and that one was the only one
Licensing? Well, it's all libre, except for the BIOS, and it works with
Trisquel out of the box. I'm not sure if that's what you meant, though.
And I use it for home use and such- it's my primary computer.
I am looking pretty hard at the snares myself
Not fully. Until the 3.19 kernel gets released in jxself's repo, I have to
use the latest xorg and non-free Nvidia drivers from
https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa and install the

I think with the 3.19 kernel, it gets basic support until the 3.20 driver
Licensing+GPL what version or modified unless you want it with scramble eggs
and bread to understand the word licensing, Anyhow you gave me the answer
about licensing. But you got only pancakes with real butter and syrup from
the maple tree. I ate my huevos rancheros this morning.
Hello I read that you have already a Wee Penguin and that you love it.
So my question ist what kind of support did you expect exactly?
I dind't by a pc/laptop by Think Penguin so I cant say nothing about the
support, but I planning to buy also a Wee Penguin.
I can only compare for example the
Well I'm thinking of if I need the laptop repaired or it doesn't work right
when I get it. I shouldn't really worry because the biggest names in laptops
are more likely to jerk their customers around.
I purchased several of their Wifi USB devices and have received incredible
support.
Hey guys and girls,
I have officially gotten tired of being jerked around by computer
manufacturers.
A few weeks ago I was going to buy a Thinkpad T440s but after hearing about
having to disable secureboot, windows 8 bios settings, and the possibility of
bricking I figured that it was time
