Trisquel (officially Trisquel GNU/Linux) is a computer operating system, a Linux distribution, derived from another distribution, Ubuntu. The project aims for a fully free software system without proprietary software or firmware and uses a version of Ubuntu's modified kernel, with the non-free code (binary blobs) removed. Trisquel relies on user donations. Its logo is a triskelion, a Celtic symbol. Trisquel is listed by the Free Software Foundation as a distribution that contains only free software.
Four basic versions are available.
The standard Trisquel distribution includes the GNOME desktop environment and graphical user interface (GUI), and English, Spanish and many other localizations on a 1.5GB DVD image.
Trisquel Mini is an alternative to mainline Trisquel, designed to run well on netbooks and older hardware. It uses the low-resource environment LXDE and lightweight GTK+ and X Window System alternatives to GNOME and Qt-KDE applications. The LXDE desktop also includes English and Spanish localizations, and can install from a 500 MB CD image.
If an Internet connection is enabled while installing Trisquel or Trisquel Mini, the software will download and install itself, including user menus and all available documentation, in any one or more of the languages in which it has been localized.
