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.
/a newcomer concerned about "free" software.
