An anonymous reader writes "gNewSense DeltaH (2.0), a second major release of a GNU/Linux distribution with focus on freedom, has just been released. It is based on Ubuntu 8.04 which was released less than week ago. gNewSense is one of the few GNU/Linux distributions listed as free by the GNU Project."

    With enough Free (as in Freedom) distributions out there like Debian, it makes one wonder what the motivation would be to create YAFD based on Ubuntu (stripped of its non-free stuff, I presume) which is in turn based on Debian which is as Free as you wanna be.

    Unless these folks are making money off of selling the CDs, I just can't understand the motivation to do this when not only do alternatives exist but those alternatives are the basis for the new distro.

    Why can't these people with so much time on their hands work on Hurd and get that out into the OS market?

    Ok, so what's not "Free" about Ubuntu?

    I sure hope you didn't PAY for your download...
