Hi,

Can I turn a Ubuntu into a Trisquel GNU/Linux-libre? I know I can turn a Arch into a Parabola GNU/Linux-libre.

You might be asking why would I want to do a silly thing like that :) I am member of the Ceata Foundation (http://ceata.org). We promote free software and.... we use Trisquel as a server :) The problem is that I want to use and share Docker.io containers and there is one that is pretty pimped up (Docker.io specific init process and other stuff) https://index.docker.io/u/phusion/baseimage/

Do you have any clue about this? Maby if I change the apt source list or something like that.

Thank you,
Andrei

Yes, that container uses 14.04, which corresponds to the future release of Trisquel 7.0 Belenos. See this script. It is free software and will let you migrate to Trisquel. However, before using it, change the variable RELEASE at the beginning to say "belenos"

You can wait the Trisquel 7.0 (Belenos) release in July or August or try to change the repository to belenos.

Other way is install Docker in Trisquel 6.0 based on Ubuntu 12.04:
