Hello everyone,

First off, I want to note how great the project seems, having just discovered it. To be honest, I thought using Ubuntu meant I was using 100% FLOSS, although it seems I was wrong. Great project therefore, this Trisquel.

I might be aiming to install v6.0, when it comes out -- no hurry at all, though; just a desire not to move too fast on this.

I was wondering, first, about the ease of installation. Under Ubuntu, everything has been coming pre-configured, so there has been no hassle at all, which is convenient, considering the layman I am.

The laptop I have is a T430 (http://shop.lenovo.com/products/us/tech-specs/laptop/thinkpad/t-series/t430/), although it is a basic one, meaning no camera, nor fingerprint reader. I have chosen, though "Intel Centrino Wireless" over the default, other-brand wireless card, with the hope that the driver be more "libre," or something to that effect.

Should I be worried about installing Trisquel, later on? As long as everything comes pre- installed and -configured by default, I am interested, as the layman person I am might prefer having devices working out-of-the-box to free and libre software.

It also has to be noted that audio is, as a rule, turned off on this machine -- its main purpose being text editing and paper-writing for school.
