New version of Trisquel GNU/Linux available.


Trisquel GNU/Linux 6.0.1 was released.

"This is an incremental upgrade release which includes all of the maintenance updates and bugfixes since the publication of Trisquel 6.0. Users that already have 6.0 installed don't need to reinstall. Just use the update manager or apt-get dist-upgrade.
The 6.0.1 release comes with several new features and updates:
Support for UEFI installation (amd64).
Abrowser upgraded to v28, with improved privacy settings.
Linux-libre updated to 3.2.0-60, 3.5 and 3.11 branches available in the repositories.
Added open-ath9k-htc firmware to the images.
Added all free firmware files to the netinstall images so they can be used over wifi.
Trisquel can now be installed on UEFI based computers by disabling the security system in the BIOS setup. We do not sign our kernels or boot managers as that would require us to request permission from Microsoft, something that shouldn't be needed in any case."

Trisquel GNU/Linux is a 100% libre Ubuntu-based Linux distribution. Its main purpose is to provide an operating system for varied audience, including home and office users, educational institutions, multimedia workstations, etc. The project is managed by independent developers and is partially funded by donations.
