F.A.Q.

Trisquel is an open project set in motion by the University of Vigo and developed by a volunteer community with support from the Ourense Science Faculty, the Ourense Computer Science High School and the work at initiatives such as Sognus. The project was born out of the necessity to create a free operating system with Galician language support. It was officially presented on April 2005 with the presence and support of Richard Stallman, founder of the Free Software Foundation.

Free software, unlike propietary, is known to respect its users essential rights, to ensure they can:

• run the program, for any purpose
• study how the program works, and adapt it to their needs (Access to the source code is a precondition for this).
• redistribute copies so they can help anyone
• improve the program, and release their improvements (and modified versions in general) to the public, so that the whole community benefits. Once again, access to the source code is a precondition for this

It's just a download away, it's also free "as in free beer".
