| |
| − | Need help installing a GNU/Linux OS on your system? That's what this is
| |
| − | all about: bring your PC and liberate it! Take your first steps to
| |
| − | making your computing as free as your speech.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Please note that it is wise to try to investigate your computer's
| |
| − | compatibility with available free software before bringing it. Some
| |
| − | computers will be harder to install on than others, or may suffer a loss
| |
| − | of functionality without the use of non-free software. Wireless adapters
| |
| − | are a common problem point, so please check resources such as the GPL
| |
| − | 2.0 licensed driver at https://github.com/ivanovborislav/rtl8188eu for a
| |
| − | list of compatible products. There are numerous affordable devices
| |
| − | available at a variety of vendors. Alternatively, ThinkPenguin.com, a
| |
| − | provider of hardware that needs only free-software, is offering a
| |
| − | discount code for this event (you may contact chris@agaric.com for a
| |
| − | discount code).

| − | '''Notes'''
| |
| − | We *will* be offering the possibility to install both fully free, and
| |
| − | non-free software when it is essential for a computer to have the user's
| |
| − | required functionality. Users requiring computer functionality that
| |
| − | requires non-free software will be described as those "Getting on the
| |
| − | freedom ladder" - they've removed as much non-free software as they can
| |
| − | today, and will be encouraged to continue substituting the remainder.
