"no functioning Flash
in any browser possible because the flashplugin-nonfree that would make it
work is verboten to this cultish group."
Trisquel is not a sect and nothing's verboten. If you need the Flash plugin,
it's far better to simply copy one flash file (the plugin .so itself) than
install the whole package as Ubuntu or #!Crunchbang offers. So go to Adobe
and download the TAR.GZ file.
Or you can have a go at Linterna Magica (remove gnash, first).
But I agree with what you say at first. Trisquel Mini 5.5 is delightful and
elegant.
