'''Trisquel GNU/Linux''' is a [[Linux distribution]] using a free version of the [[Linux kernel]] as distributed by the [[Linux-libre]] project. The main goals of the project are the production of a fully [[free software]] (free as in free speech) system that must be easy to use, complete, and with good language support.

The project began in 2004 with the sponsorship of the [[University of Vigo]], and officially presented in April 2005 with [[Richard Stallman]], founder of the [[GNU Project]], as a special guest.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.lavozdegalicia.es/hemeroteca/2005/04/28/3679855.shtml | title = Richard Stallman, defensor del software libre, sorprendió a los universitarios | language = Spanish | publisher = La voz de Galicia | accessdate=2008-11-26 }}</ref>

By December 11, 2008, Trisquel GNU/Linux was included by the Free Software Foundation in its list of free Linux distributions.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.gnu.org/links/links.html#FreeGNULinuxDistributions | title = Free GNU/Linux distributions list| publisher = GNU website | Free GNU/Linux distributions list |accessdate = 2008-11-11}}</ref> According to [[DistroWatch]], Trisquel was ranked 78th overall in page view popularity in the previous six months.<ref name="DW"> {{Cite web|url = http://distrowatch.com/stats.php?section=popularity|title = Linux Distributions - Facts and Figures|accessdate = 31 October 2011|last = [[DistroWatch]]|date = 31 October 2011}}</ref>

=== Trisquel Pro ===
''Trisquel Pro'' is a small business oriented operating system. It includes a pack of enterprise management software, including Abanq, OpenbravoPOS, and [[GNUCash]] among others. It is mainly intended for the Spanish market, as some of the accounting software included is designed to match the Spanish tax regulations, but most of the applications included can be used worldwide. The application collection is completed with several all-purpose tools including a graphical [[Firewall (computing)|firewall]], [[antivirus software|antivirus]] for the scanning of Windows partitions and [[wine (software)|Wine]] applications- and an automated backup system.
It was officially released at the international multimedia and communications show [[SIMO]] on November [[2007]].<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.hermestrans.com/en/images/descargas/medios/Extra%20SIMO_06-11-2007.pdf | title= SIMO 2007, p.6 | language = Spanish | publisher = El País | accessdate = 2008-11-26 }}</ref>

==Reception==
In reviewing Trisquel 5.5 in April 2012 writer Jim Lynch said: "Trisquel 5.5 is a great choice for those who prefer to use only free software, without any kind of proprietary stuff. The developers have clearly taken the time to go out of their way to cleanse Trisquel of potentially offensive proprietary software. While some folks won’t care about this, others certainly will appreciate it. Even if you aren’t a free software purist, Trisquel 5.5 is definitely worth a download. I found Trisquel to be a genuinely enjoyable distro. It’s what I would call a well-ordered and well developed distro. It accomplishes what the developers set out to do, and it does it in a very attractive package."<ref name="Lynch24April12">{{cite news|url = http://desktoplinuxreviews.com/2012/04/24/trisquel-5-5/|title = Trisquel 5.5|accessdate = 28 April 2012|last = Lynch|first = Jim|date = 24 April 2012| work = Linux Desktop Reviews}}</ref>
