I feel like I've found a home...
Maybe this sentiment is driven by the fact that I drank too much coffee this morning but I feel like I've found a home with Trisquel gnulinux. I've been trying out totally free distros ever since I heard Richard Stallman advocating Ututo because it was "totally" free. Up to that point, I hadn't realized that Debian and Slackware contained non free components. I tried BLAG for several years, but since Jeff Moe left that distro has died. I'm not particularly fond of rpm distros anyway. Then I tried gNewSense, but because it's based solely on the LTS version of Ubuntu, it doesn't support all the hardware that I require. Trisquel Dwyn is perfect. I haven't always been totally faithful to free software, but with Trisquel the sacrifice is very minimal. So I now qualify for sainthood in the Church of Emacs, even though I don't use emacs.
Thank you for your efforts to produce this excellent distro.
Wow, thank you, let me correct you on something, I think the word
"sentiment" doesn't exist in English, use "feeling" instead. ;)
I think the same, Trisquel does the 100% free distros easy to use and
for that, the support of hardware, the elegance, the reliability, the
speed and the great community behind it where developers and users are
very near, I believe it's nowadays the best "free as in freedom"
distro. :D

No problem. I actually speak "American" which some British speakers might argue is not really a valid dialect of English ;)
