Puppy Linux isn't endorsed by the FSF because it recommends non-free software, (such as Adobe Flash) but does a Vanilla Slacko or Lucid Puppy contain any [Proprietary software]? _________________ Not running as root is the cause of my inferiority complex.

Probably, if the vanilla kernel is used, and none of the proprietary binary 'blobs' are removed. I had to answer my own question!

Flash, some modem drivers Barry adds, GetFlash, nVidia drivers, Opera and extra firmware are proprietary. Firefox and Seamonkey are considered non-free because of the non-free plug-ins and add-ons they recommend. Plus, as you said, there are binary blobs in the kernel. _________________ Shahor, my Puppy concept |

Hope it is okay to ask this: How do the FOSS supporters look at Youtube then if they don't allow any such programs to be in their OS? _________________ I'm a noob so I use Google Search of Puppy Forum |

gnash I reemmber I have seen that program name before but despite reading almost daily here on Puppy Forum I don't remember we have talked about where in the Menu or where one can find it or install it and how well it works or ... or Iceweasel's webm but I am on FireFox 21 so it would be a bit unpractical to also ahve Iceweasel running or does webm work with FF"! to? and if it is that easy why have nobody show how practical it is? _________________ I'm a noob so I use Google Search of Puppy Forum |
