Offtopic - anyway: I'm often trying different distros (just for fun and) to see how they develop. 
Every distro has it's own pros and cons. (I haven't found a perfect distro for me). I'm going to

Thomas,

2. http://trisquel.info/en/faq
It [the Trisquel project] was officially presented <http://trisquel.info/presentacion> on April 2005 with the presence and support of Richard Stallman, founder of the Free Software Foundation <http://fsf.org>.

3. http://www.fsf.org/associate/benefits
*Here are just some of the benefits of being an associate member of the Free Software Foundation...* You will receive an ultra slim, credit-card-sized, 2GB card loaded with Trisquel Live <http://www.fsf.org/associate/card>, a fully free GNU/Linux distribution.
