Re: [Trisquel-users] Will the Fn commands for laptops be fixed in Trisquel 6?

I've always liked the idea of using GNU/Linux to give old PCs new life. The  
problem is recycling hardware is hard. It isn't always clear cut what works  
and what doesn't. Little issues crop up so easily. For instance you can spend  
an hour to get everything assembled that works with GNU/Linux and free  
software only to find out that the system is very unstable. It could be a  
bug, it could be a defect (frequently happens with donated PCs and why people  
got rid of them in the first place), and it could be in any number of  
components. Trying to deal with this is less of an issue if your only taking  
hardware in bulk though (20 - 30 + machines at a time).
