How do I share internet in Trisquel? I don't mean hosting a website, I mean connecting a computer without internet access to one that has it, the host running Trisquel.

You could use iptables to set up your computer as a router. Just search
"iptables router" on your favourite search engine and you'll get plenty
of results.

If you don't care about privacy and your computers have wireless cards, you can use the networked computer as an insecure hotspot. (no encryption or the insecure WEP)

This is probably not a good idea but since I don't know the circumstances I mention it.

Apparently the WPA2 ad-hoc support is broken (or not implemented?) in Linux. Couldn't find any tracking bug though...
