Re: [Trisquel-users] Sun Wireless Toolkit and general Java questions

Yes, and these students (and I) can afford to set up a class with 5 dollar  
phones, not 100 dollar G1. I have heard about and like Replicant, but all the  
supported devices are prohibitively expensive to me at the time.

With regard to the firmware, maybe I should revise my view of it as a  
circuit. It is more similar to a proprietary BIOS, and plenty of Free Systems  
boot Free Software distros while still having that BIOS. And yes, I know  
CoreBoot exists, but it does not support every motherboard and not every  
device even has a BIOS these days. This may be too lax a view for many here,  
but I would rather install a Free distro on top of a proprietary BIOS (which  
also controls the system for a time) than to just trash the whole machine.
