I went to the FSF website and found only two distributions that were still being maintained that I liked. My Favorite Trisquel GNU/Linux 7.0. Now I did find some bugs as well. One thing I forgot to mention, is that when using Synaptic or the Application Add/Remove program, the package installer would never quit, unless you clicked the v down arrow and checked to see if any questions needed answered in the terminal. This should be open automatically so you can see it, or it should automatically answer the questions. Here's the rest of what I found https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0f-MGit1ZaA

This distribution has made me think of making my own distribution completely free software, and no proprietary software as well. Of course as I mention in the video, I'd need a team of volunteers to do what you people have done. If I were to work with your project instead, I'd be better at making suggestions in the beginning, than doing any coding or development, as I don't have experience with the build tools your using.

I really like your download page, and all the options for the net install, and all that. You guys are awesome.

Ok, thanks. I don't know how to erase this post. http://www.justuselinux.com is my distro.

That's a good question. Obviously the issues I pointed out in the video would hopefully be fixed, and I'd make any changes I could that would make an existing Windows user more comfortable with GNU / Linux, like for example making it idiot proof.

OMG that would be awesome! Please join the Trisquel team!

The Trisquel maintainers do the best job they can, but I guess there is a lot of work modifying the packages that comes through the Ubuntu project, making sure everything is 100% libre etc. This forum has a fantastic community of helpful power users, which is the main thing that's kept me using Trisquel since I started to have problems recently.

But there are definitely areas in which the UX (User eXperience) of the distro could be improved, which would help us attract and retain more ex-Windows users (and ex-Ubuntu users for that matter). I'm sure it would help to have another hacker with this focus, and some distro maintenance experience, on the Trisquel team. For example, here is one thing I think would make exploring and learning GNU/Linux independently a lot less confusing, and leave a much better impression of software quality:

I'm sure other forum members are getting tired of hearing me singing the blues on this by now ;) But I do think these considerations are important if we want the free code software user community to grow.

Yep. It is hard work, and I can't complain much, as I can't do a better job of doing what the Transquel team has done, at least not without a team. One thing that would be really cool is if you could add the Ubuntu, Xubuntu... repos without causing any problems. If there was some kind of Free Software switch that would turn off all the proprietary packages, and keep apt-get from touching them, and also exclude any meta-packages from Ubuntu, or any duplicate packages from Ubuntu that require the meta-packages. That sounds like a lot of work though.

I'm digging the free software thing a lot.

JULinux was created with the intent of making things as easy as possible, even at the cost of using non-free software if need be. For this I got a famous software award for JULinux 8. One problem for JULinux is that most of the users don't know anything, as they are previous windows carrots, and poor Windows carrots usually don't contribute.
