FSF-Sponsored gNewSense 2.1 Released

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.

    Nothing, unless you're an ableist bigot who only values people who aren't otherly-abled. Gimp is kind of like the n-word for cripples.

    That's why I use it so much, at heart I am just such an ableist bigot because cripples piss me off. "Wah, this random building isn't wheelchair accessible, somebody pay a couple million dollars to acommodate me!" "Well, the problem seems to be just a short staircase going down, I'm pretty sure we can get you down those..." *kick*

    Yes, I know, I'm kharmically guaranteeing that my children will be paraplegics and I will develop a terrible degenerative disease and be confined to a wheelchair. Such is the price of humor.
