It looks good, doesn't it? I like the dark theme for the application menu. Wallpaper is also very good.

Hi everyone. It's great to hear that Trisquel 7 is out!

From what I read, I'm ready to try it. I have a couple of questions:

1) Are the latest images the "7.0-20140721-i18n"?
http://devel.trisquel.info/makeiso/iso/

2) Where can I get the public key used to sign the package?

3) I'm about to install Trisquel for a friend. Do you think I should install Trisquel 6 or is 7 already stable enough for a first time user?

Thank you!

I've been playing with 7 for a while, on a netbook, and have finally
decided to install it onto my work-a-day Toshiba Satellite, after
testing on the other box and the arrival of my new Think Penguin USB
wifi radio for the Toshiba. My answers below.

Yes, and there are new Trisquel mini, net install, and kde images, too.

I'd go with 7; everything is 2 years newer than in 6.

Thank you for the answers!

I'm ready to try it as soon as I can find the pgp key used to sign the image. It should be somewhere obvious? I looked around but still can't find it. I see the .asc files. How did you verify the signature?

I did a 'pgpdump' of the .asc file and it says this is the key that you
can use:

0xB4EFB9F38D8AEBF1

So you can do:
gpg --recv-keys 0xB4EFB9F38D8AEBF1
gpg --verify trisquel.iso.asc

Replace trisquel.iso with the actual name of the file, and make sure the
.asc is in the same directory. It should tell you that the signature is
good but can't be authenticated (IIRC).

Hope that helps!

Andrew.
