The Trisquel-team should make up their mind what they want to offer to the
world.
Trisquel is the easiest of the recommended GNU/Linux distributions listed on
the Free Software Foundation's website. Keeping your system up-to-date is
essential. All four Trisquel-7.0 versions I tested offer a graphical
"software updater" that does not do its job:
- trisquel-mini-7.0-amd64.iso the graphical updater stalls.
- trisquel-mini-7.0-i686.iso the graphical updater stalls.
- trisquel-7.0-amd64.iso the graphical updater leaves you with another 33.7
MB of packages to download when you run sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get
upgrade afterwards.
- trisquel-7.0-i686.iso the graphical updater leaves you with 69.9 MB of
packages to download when you run sundo apt-get update and sudo apt-get
upgrade afterwards.
Therefore, the graphical "software updater" should be removed and it should
be clearly stated that users have to use the following commands using the
commandline: sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get dist-upgrade!
The combination sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get upgrade just
wouldn't get the job done completely.
