I just installed Trisquel after a long hiatus as I notice a few years ago that my account was havng code manipulated. I reported it to the EFF and later saw that the head developer had looked at mine and my wife's setup and reported a number of security holes. I won't go into my other Linux distros that were hacked, which was done in a number of ways, one that was glaringly obvious was the code put in that forwarded data through a loop back system. I didn't bother to tell the creator of this monstrous manipulation of copyright under the free software license of such distributions, the most recent being Linux Mint, but this gave away that Mint encryption obviously had a back door. Furthermore, if I did things like run a disk report for an SATA that all the testing code was being funneled back into their great "cache".

However, I have installed Trisquel twice and noticed that after having installed it without connecting it to my network, the disk, burned on my wife's computer, seems to have a flaw in it or perhaps what I see is normal behavior for Trisquel but it seems odd that when I installed it without being online, it created a "network" that was marked "Windows" network. I found that odd since many Trisquel users are surely connecting to Unix, Linux and other networks and this seems to be a flaw in somebody's code. There is a USB cache on my computer, a bridge (this is a MSI 760GM-P34 motherboard and I didn't know there was a USB cache on this motherboard, although I made sure this "disk", which is sdb had nothing in it befoe the install. I further cleaned out the memory on the cache. So is this normal behavior for Trisquel to install showing a "Windows Network" since I know that would be a network that most users would likely avoid, particularly in light of the fact that

Microsoft has been rasing the spectacle in Europe of claiming that Linux is colluding against them. http://www.gendo.nl/en/blog/arjen/ubuntu-protects-against-microsoft-claims

Which is rather ironic and I got a laugh out of the claims since we all know the Free Software and Linux Communities have contributed to many breakthroughs that Microsoft subsequently adopted.

At any rate, how do I examine my code to find out how this happened and determine if Trisquel's code is being manipulated or not. I did notice that during the install that Trisquell did pull up the boot recors I presume, files apparently their after the install. On the other hand, I won't go into the wireless part of the messages I saw by that someone "Delobbed" I think is the word we've heard, although I'm not sure if the denizens of delobbing are in my area or not.

Can anyone help me out with this mystery, or non mystery. Am I overreacting to what seems to me to be some kind of manipulation either on the part of the Microsoft computer doing the burning or something on the disk that caused this to happen. Or perhaps a fast hacker. Or is Windows normally a network shown after an install in the Network section of Trisquel even before the OS doesn't know where or what network the machine is going to added to.

Thanks

I won't go into it, but my grandfather lost his family to the Stasi in East Germany and would never talk about his family after that. So the genealogy gurus in my family had nowhere to look after that Wall feel down.

Am a presuposing too much about Trisquel? Does it default to showing a Windows network after the install?

Sorry for my spelling errors. Incidentally, I meant the head developer of one of the major repositories in Linux looked at it, if my reading of the log files was correct.

Surely the "Windows Network" is down to Samba being installed and enabled by default?
