quantum gravity has excellently explained the situation of both trisq and
deb!
I have been usin Trisquel 7 on a netbook with a tiny screen (was giong blind
.. hehe) for almost 6 months. Now I have a laptop with ati crap graphics and
being that this setup gave me several issues with Trisquel I use Wheezy
default (only main repo) -> the switch was really easy and the six months
with Trisquel have thought me everything I now know about free software and
how to avoid completely non-free software so..for me using debian and making
sure that no 1 bit of proprietary nonsense gets installed is very simple
because I installed on debian the exact same applications I had on Trisquel
(addons inlcuded). The very few different programs I installed, like, say
peerflix, I double checked the licenses before installing/compiling and
that's all - no brainer.
But really, in any case you should use Trisquel because it is a great distro
and also because it will teach you how to use your computer in freedom!
cheers!
