Thanks for the reply and.... man I am so sorry you have to put up with UEFI
=S
Hope you recover fast and can ever speak again =S
Ok, jokes aside, thanks for the link ;)
I don't think I will venture myself into installing all of that on my own =S
I would get mad before I ended and would probably give up on Trisquel and
security and freedom altogether xD lol.
I agree, ANY OPERATING SYSTEM NEEDS FIREWALL!
Yeah, my choosing Trisquel also had to do with that. I was not with Ubuntu
for some time (gave up on them once they picked Unity) and after trying many
distros, I settled for Mint. And I have to say, as a end user, if you don't
care much about privacy and security, you know if you just want a "free of
charge replacement for windows", Linux Mint actually was the best option. I
think IT IS the best operating system for USERS who want a FREE WINDOWS.
But as a power user who has privacy and security as a primary goal, the
thought of having Java and Flash always opening security holes in the system,
proprietary drivers spying on me, and not being able to trust the computer
because I didn't know how much of "Ubuntu evil code" was still present in
Mint... I decided it was time for a change. Free software only OS, was the
choice. Trisquel was the only option that did not required me to learn a LOT
of new things all of a sudden. So, here I am.
However, if one wants a true secure system and dreams of becoming "the
ultimate nerd" I would suggest OpenBSD. xD ahahaha between being difficult to
even boot the damn thing and keeping up with Theo de Raat.... I don't think
you can go any further than that xD
Jokes aside, OpenBSD project actually made the computers world more free and
secure. We owe them. But if they kill a project like GnoBSD, I just don't
want to be a part of that...
And I am happy with Trisquel. Let's see what the future holds but for the
time being, here I am =)
