gNewSense 2.0, a premier Freedomware platform based on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS,
released
,----[ Quote ]
| I believe it is worth a special mention that gNewSense 2.0 has just been
| released. It is based off Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron which was released just a
| week ago, so this is a brand new thing for everyone who wishes to run a pure
| Free Software system. However, there is much more to it than being a system
| for uncompromising Freedomware enthusiasts.

gNewSense 2.0 [Screenshots]
,----[ Quote ]
| Less than a week after the release of Ubuntu 8.04 LTS "Hardy Heron", the Free
| Software Foundation has gone ahead and released version 2.0 (named DeltaH) of
| gNewSense. For those not familiar with gNewSense, this is one of the few
| distributions certified by the Free Software Foundation as being a truly free
| Linux distribution. gNewSense 2.0 is essentially Ubuntu 8.04 LTS but with a
| few modifications to make it more free by removing some binary-only
| components. New in gNewSense 2.0 is also new artwork, switching the default
| web browser from Mozilla Firefox to Epiphany, Blag's deblob script in the
| kernel, and non-free GLX being removed from X.Org/Mesa. Here are a few
| screenshots from this latest release.

Eight Distros a Week: gNewSense 1.1

| Internet connection and couldn’t put it through some on-line tests that I did

| Frankly, I'm pretty sure he'll agree that gNewSense is a great demonstration
| of the power of software freedom.

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.

gNewSense joins list of FSF-approved distros

| 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.
