Trisquel

Trisquel 6.0

 * Updated 03/13/2013

"Trisquel, a 'libre' version of Ubuntu GNU/Linux, is now available for download and install (or update for those who already have it). It's one of the easiest 'libre' versions of Gnu/Linux to install and run. This version includes: Linux-Libre 3.2, Xorg, Abrowser 19 (a Firefox derivative that does not recommend non-free software), GNOME 3.4, and LibreOffice 3.5. They're also simplifying their release schedule: 'This release is a Long Term Support one, meaning that bugfix and security updates will be published until 2017. Along with this we have decided to change our release schedule from this point on: we will no longer publish short term support versions every 6 months, but focus on giving the best possible support to the LTS release, providing backported improvements to core packages like the kernel, the browser and the xorg server among others.'"

Notes on Wireless

 * from trisquel-users@listas.trisquel.info (sirgrant 01/15/2012)

The package wireless-tools is free software and is in the Trisquel repository. "firmware-ralink" is non-free software. If you read the copyright file it says you can only distribute it in binary form without modification meaning it isn't libre software. We can't recommend you install that package.
