Are you sure it is GNU/Linux?
I actually went back and watched Revolution OS the other day and even Linus
himself says that it should not be called "GNU/Linux" unless the distro
itself is totally GNU or is done by them. Falls into the same as Red Hat
Linux or SuSE Linux. It would be nice if Trisquel was the official distro of
the FSF, but that would take convincing of Stallman.
Stallman means well, but he is kinda on an island here in followers of his
complete vision. I personally think its a great vision (even if its
unrealistic) and Linus himself chuckles at the thought of "GNU/Linux" because
it can be perceived as Stallman padding his ego by tacking on the GNU. I do
understand that much of the software is GNU like GCC, but not every program
is GNU.
As for this guy's internet problem, I ran into the same issue with a Ralink
802.11n USB dongle I got for cheap years ago from a friend that worked at
Best Buy. Works in Windows, Ubuntu, and all Linux Mint (including Debian)
variants. If I were to buy a totally free USB dongle now from Think Penguin,
I would be paying twice the price. I ended up just using this Triquel box
with ethernet.
Btw... where the hell is Hurd?
