![]() ![]() The HP ThinPro operating system reinvents UI simplicity with a single console interface for dashboard access to all user and administrative touch points. HP’s on-board ezUpdate utility automates deployment of new connections, properties, low-bandwidth add-ons and image updates from one centralized repository to thousands of desktops. A native HP ThinState application allows you to capture a master profile or image and apply it to a USB key or central repository for image deployment or restoration. The ThinPro Setup Wizard takes the guesswork out of set up by streamlining configuration and management applications into a short series of easy-to-follow screens that help you choose the right configurations for your environment. The most important reason people chose GNU IceCat is: It is part of the GNU Project. Security holes are somewhat more of a privacy risk than anything Mozilla does. Using icecat means ignoring over three years of security fixes. Leveraging modern ARM processor technology, the HP t5325 can help maximize IT budgets with a unique combination of business-class performance, and affordability with great aesthetics and low power consumption. iceweasel Posted 1:10 UTC (Sun) by rsidd (subscriber, 2582) Link The last release of icecat was in 2019, version 60.7.0. However, IceCat is not a straight fork of Firefox ESR instead, it. GNU IceCat aim to be based on the the current official release of Firefox Extended Support Release (ESR) with removal of trademarked artwork and proprietary components. The HP t5325 Essentials Class Thin Client provides an optimized Windows, Citrix and VDI client virtualization experience with a breakthrough combination of performance, efficiency and affordability. GNU IceCat (originally GNU IceWeasel) is part of GNUzilla (the GNU version of the Mozilla Application Suite). But I can't seriously believe you consider the technical improvements made by Debian an ethical problem.The official marketing text of HP t5325 Thin Client 1.2 GHz ThinPro 2.12 kg as supplied by the manufacturer If you found that it still recommends non-free add-ons in some way that I haven't noticed, then say so. If you think the branding is wrong, then say so. ![]() Since you specifically want me to remove the existing Iceweasel package (rather than just provide IceCat as an option), please give me a crystal clear answer on what is wrong with it. That's far from "avoid duplicating efforts", it's more like the opposite. There are several man-months of QA work in that Iceweasel package, and so far the only solution that seems acceptable to you is to throw them away. > Wouldn't be better for the free software community to don't duplicate our efforts? I asked if the technical changes in IceCat could be enumerated. You said branding was important because it creates confusion, but now you say it is pointless. It's not about the freedom issue, which has been dealt with. I have serious trouble understanding you. > I don't see the point to provide a patch to make IceWeasel look and smell like IceCat when IceCat can be used as it is. If you provide a patch to rebrand it (as IceCat, as upstream branding, anything, I really don't care), I will apply it. People will think that Iceweasel is free when in reality it is not but only the gNewSense version is, or are you going to rebrand it in another way?Īs I said, I see this as a non-issue. > It is not an useless debate, because it will create a lot of confusion. See the following changelogs and their associated bug entries (hyperlinked via bug numbers): Can you please list these technical improvements? (OT: why they aren't included upstream?). > I don't, especially because I don't know them. As for #1 I have no problem with rebranding to something else, be it IceCat, upstream branding or anything. #2 and #3 are already done in metad by importing the changes from IceCat. ![]() > 4) Include CAcert in the root certificates. > 2) Use free addons (so replace any link in the UI to point to the gnuzilla list). I extracted the relevant changes from IceCat and applied them: This project catalogs these plugins on the Directory. In most cases plugins are unnecessary in web browsers so using a separate browser profile with plugins enabled for sites that require them is recommended for security. Why you are going to solve again in IceWeasel the same problems IceCat is trying to solve? IceCat plugins installable as packages from free GNU/Linux distributions like Trisquel GNU/Linux. ![]()
