Hello All,
Potential new user of Trisquel for netbook aspire one zg5. I guess the new 4.0 lxde mini version is my best bet. I'm downloading the torrent now. The Laptop came with linpus that detected the flashcard readers but it crashed and I found easier to install ubuntu netbook edition. I then updated to 10.10 and it just got too slow. Tried ubuntu, xubuntu, lubuntu, not very satisfing. I'm now with meego and I am very impressed with the speed but repository support is not any good and I have grown accostumed to the package manager.
i have been reading a lot about SSD wear and how EXT2 is better but I think this is out of date and EXT4 is just as good. Could any of you confirm this? How do I know that Trisquel mini will not damage my drive?
Did anyone get their acer aspire one flash drive reader to work? I would like to have a storage expansion.
I have seen that trisquel mini uses midori. I can still install firefox right? but the one that restricts propietary addons?
Well, according to http://robert.penz.name/137/no-swap-partition-journaling-filesystem-on-a-ssd/, your laptop will be obsolete long before you run out of write cycles on your SSD, even if you're using a journaling filesystem, so there's really no harm in going with EXT4.
And yes, you can still install Firefox in Trisquel Mini. I think it's called "abrowser" in the repositories. And it doesn't actually restrict proprietary addons, it just doesn't point you to them.
