FSF-Sponsored gNewSense 2.1 Released

Posted by timothy on from the when-you-want-to-say-gnu-slash-linux dept.

An anonymous reader writes "gNewSense, the fully-free GNU/Linux distribution sponsored by the FSF, has released a 2.1 live CD (torrent). Since the last release, more non-free binary blobs have been removed, new artwork has been added and lots of other improvements have been made. It's also two years since the first edition of gNewSense, and in that time an impressive ten live CDs have been released! gNewSense 2.1 DeltaH is based on Ubuntu Hardy, and removes non-free software that other distributions don't." I wonder if gNewSense can be easily installed on an OLPC XO the way several other distros can.

  1. Free Software is 'communism', huh? by leftie · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    You probably wouldn't know what a real communist was if Lenin rose from his tomb and bit you on your far side if your left ass cheek.

    You wouldn't happen to work for SCO would you?

    "It's not the name that'd make me embarrassed to recommend GIMP."

    It doesn't help.

    Really, the RELENTLESS insistence on cute/stupid names is not helpful.

    I shouldn't have to waste time explaining the fucktarded name before explaining the software, so I don't bother with either.

    A "gimp" is a cripple, by the way.
