The thing that confused me was that Wheezy works perfectly on the same
machine.
I was hoping that gnewsense would work as well as Trisquel as I really don't
like Canonical.
When Ubuntu first came out I thought it was about the best thing I'd seen on
a computer and pushed it and wrote about it and praised it to whoever would
stand still long enough to listen. I installed 10.10 on a couple of computers
in a residential home, overwriting Windows in the process. I left a single
text file on the desktop explaining "why the computer looks different" and
the residents took to it without a hitch.
Then Canonical went for Unity, a singularly stupid decision, which they made
worse by sneering at people who disagreed, at which point I fled in horror
and the rest, as they say, is history.
All of which is a roundabout way of saying, when I can have a distro that
isn't Ubuntu based I'll be even happier than I am now.
The dream distro for me would be 100% kosher Slackware.
