Trisquel 5.5-Beta

Announcement: 03/02/2012

• http://devel.trisquel.info/makeiso/iso/trisquel_5.5_i686-20120303.iso
• http://devel.trisquel.info/makeiso/iso/trisquel_5.5_amd64-20120303.iso

The first beta images for the forthcoming 5.5 "Brigantia" release are
ready for download here: http://devel.trisquel.info/makeiso/iso/
This time the images came a little later than expected because the
amount of upstream changes -specially the move towards GNOME 3 and GTK3-
required a much larger effort than usual. They also required a lot of
compilation tests, those incomplete iso images that caused so much
speculation... But it was fun. :)
I'll right back to the list with every new iso that comes up for
testing. The known bug list is here (please do not translate it):
https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/brigantia-development
The planned release date is March 24; I'll be presenting the new
version at the 2012 LibrePlanet Conference in Boston:
http://libreplanet.org/wiki/LibrePlanet2012/Schedule
Let's get cracking with the bug fixing!

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.

Trisquel On A Sugar Toast

Trisquel On A Sugar Toast

A live CD with Sugar-desktop only

Live image trisquel-sugar_3.0

• http://trisquel.info/en/trisquel-sugar

You can download the (430MB) iso image from here:

• http://devel.trisquel.info/sugar/trisquel-sugar_3.0-LATEST_i686.iso

Notes

To create a live USB disk with user data persistence, you can burn the image in a CD and use it to start a live session. Then plug the USB unit, open the terminal, and run "usb-creator".(usb-creator-gtk) A launcher application is coming.

The usb-creator helper is also included in the Trisquel 3 (and later) desktop applications. If you use a different GNU/Linux distribution or Windows, you can use FUSBi instead.

You can now log out of your session and login into Sugar. If your computer is a LTSP server, it would be serving Sugar already.

Configure a Trisquel edu LTSP server

You can follow the instructions in the Trisquel wiki.
