gNewSense 2.0 (deltah) Review

,----[ Quote ]
| I still recommend it for anyone who wants a completely pure Linux version 
| with the simplicity of Ubuntu. This can also be achieved by using Fedora, 
| Debian, and Mandriva Free and not enabling any repositories containing 
| non-free software. I’d recommend it to anyone who, as they say on LugRadio, 
| Loves Freedom.

A good day for Ubuntu 8.04

,----[ Quote ]
| After a few instances where the keyboard and mouse locked up in Ubuntu 8.04 
| on the $0 Laptop, I decided to write my weekly column for the Daily News' 
| Tech Talk space entirely in Ubuntu.

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.

The Importance of the 'Completely Libre' Distributions

,----[ Quote ]
| What's more, I recently migrated a local user to gNewSense from
| his improperly-licensed, virus-ridden Windows XP system. I am due to follow
| up with him soon, so we'll see how his GNU/Linux eXPerience is going.
| Frankly, I'm pretty sure he'll agree that gNewSense is a great demonstration
| of the power of software freedom.
