Installing Gobuntu 7.10
,----[ Quote ]
| The installation process of Gobuntu is text mode-based, and it is quite
| painful for most users, because it will not detect modern hardware, such as
| SCSI hard drives. So unless you have an IDE hard drive, don't even bother to
| follow the next steps.

| To that end I’d like to build up a list of people who are interested in this
| idea, and would potentially buy a high-powered laptop if it were guaranteed
| to work completely with free software drivers and OpenBIOS.

gNewSense joins list of FSF-approved distros
,----[ Quote ]
| However, gNewSense is also an important step toward its long-range
| goal of persuading manufacturers to produce computers that run
| completely free software, from the operating system and drivers
| down to the BIOS. Buoyed by both the release of gNewSense and the
| plans to use the LinuxBIOS in the One Laptop Per Child project,
| Brown says, "We believe we're getting there slowly but surely.
| We're getting to the point where maybe in 12 months we're going
| to have those computers."

>From freedom to slavery; a week of two distros
,----[ Quote ]
| While gNewSense enjoys its initial introduction as a fully free as in
| freedom distribution, it seems at the same time an existing GNU/Linux
| distribution has turned to slavery. Excuse me a moment, while I remove
| the metaphorical knife from my back before continuing. Never before
| has the contrast between software freedom and intellectual slavery
| been more clear thanks to the proud efforts of gNewSense, and the
| craven ones of Novell.
