Hi Mason,
Pleasure to speak with you.
Okay I'm in no rush to buy the laptop.
A USB WiFi Adapter and libreboot sounds interesting.
My custom desktop is:
* Intel i7-3770k cpu @ 3.50GHz
* NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 graphics card (intel has internal cpu graphics too)
PCIbus
* RAM 16GB
* Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit OS
* C: drive SSD 119 GB (NTFS full now need to solve this prob)
* D: drive HD 1TB (full need to solve...)
* E: dvd
* (partitioned and flash...)
* K: drive HD 4TB
HDMI cable output to 42" flatscreen monitor/TV
Ethernet cable 1.0 Gbps wire connected to modem (not using my internal wifi)
I hope a usb-memory stick or the k: drive will work for Trisquel.
I had plenty of free storage space a year ago but now I am at capacity.
That pesky C drive filled up in spite of my efforts to manually install
programs to other drives - but many applications default hidden required
execs on the C: drive anyway.
I am not confident to uninstall programs and wreck the registry.
If I have to explore this, then a tutorial guide on exporting OS and registry
data to another drive will be needed.
