The article did not mention GNU not even in connection with Emacs. It is not something to be advertised. It is part of the hype of that author, I understand him, but it is better to recommend to author to learn about GNU, software freedoms, and how it began.

He did manage to completely ignore GNU but recommends SaaSS (CeltX). I wonder if he's ever heard of Stallman. It's possible, even likely, that he omitted all this deliberately. Not sure, though, because there was something in his tone that gave away his naïveté. Let him dream.

I only hope that some people will actually click on that Gimp link he provided. On THAT page, there's a direct link to THIS.

BUT there (on his page) should be a link to this as well:

If Trisquel 8 were out by now, I'd post on his page that Trisquel has all the tools needed for "higher education."
