Re: [Trisquel-users] I need help to install trisquel in Calgary, Alberta area...

Even though the UI is different (different "Start Menu" thingie, application  
appearance, preinstalled applications etc) Trisquel is actually quite similar  
to Ubuntu. The current verson is based on Ubuntu 14.04 so you might want to  
look at videos/articles about that (there are differences, mostly concerning  
not-so-free software Ubuntu makes use of and the interface, but the  
"internals", if you will (i.e. how a user account works, how file deletion  
works, programme installation and removal, and to an extent desktop themes,  
etc) are very similar.

If you have a relative that uses GNU+Linux (Red GHat, debian, Ubuntu, etc),  
then they might also be able to help quite a bit.
