[Trisquel-users] Re : Script to remove nonfree software from Ubuntu

[magicbanana]

To me, it looks like "the most promising solution for a normal user" is  
simply to install Trisquel. With such a 100% free distribution, tools like  
vrms are pointless ('vrms' only considers the packages installed through APT  
and Trisquel's repositories do not contain any proprietary software).

If you are talking about cleaning an Ubuntu, the work amounts to change the  
kernel for Linux-libre and to have an updated list of its proprietary  
software and to "apt-get remove --purge" them. This is exactly what the  
script I mentioned does (but it was done for Ubuntu 10.04 and the  
repositories of the more recent versions of Ubuntu probably include some more  
proprietary software).
