> Installation of version 6 goes flawlessly I really have no idea why this should be the case. The only main differences I can think of between Trisquel 6 and 7 are (I believe) GNOME 2 vs 3 and some minor application choices. Other than that, minor version changes. If anything, 7 should support your computer better than 6, not the other way round- firmware doesn't get worse between releases- there's just more of it, and newer versions. Try a clean burn? Also, have you tried the netinst CD? (not that this should really help anything, but I am a firm believer in the superiority of that installer above all else, and I do love to proselytise)
What exact hardware do these Dell systems of which you speak have? What are they? Would be useful. > I'll keep Debian in mind, just in case. Please do. Ideally, we'd all have 100% free distros like Trisquel, BLAG, and so forth, but Debian really is in a class of its own as the second best thing. Just avoid distros which have really lost all pretense of caring about free software like Ubuntu, Mint, and don't even differentiate between it and proprietary software. If Trisquel 6 works, then use that. For freedom's sake.
