Debian 6.0 To Feature a Completely Free Kernel

Posted by timothy on from the nothing-dirty dept.

dkd903 writes "The Debian Project has announced that the upcoming release — Debian 6.0 'Squeeze' — will have a completely free Linux kernel. This means that the Linux kernel which ships with Debian 6.0 will not have any non-free firmware. The Debian Project has been working on removing the non-free parts since the last two releases. With Squeeze, they are finally realizing that goal."

    When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, people ask if I'm an idiot. When I tell people they should be FORCED to give the poor food, they call me a Communist.
