gNewSense is a 100% Free distro (software libero). Other distros do not care about freedom. Please read here why other distros are not considered 100% free (libero): http://www.gnu.org/distros/common-distros.html > My hope is next gNewSense will come with a broad range of net. card. If the hardware companies release the information needed for the card to have free firmware, then it might be included. Otherwise non-free firmware will *never* be included. > I did use DLING wireless USB already without any success, for me I am not a > very expert would be a quite of head ache and money .......

I am not sure what you mean. If you mean they also do not connect with your wireless card then maybe they also do not have the correct firmware. I have not used any of those so I cannot help you. > I am lloking for something simple, stable and some network forensic option to > monitor any possible intrusion such as DEFT (it works well with my Thinkpad) > or BlackBunto or DSL which it did now allow me to connect via wireless. Here is a list of 100% free GNU/Linux distributions: http://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.html If you do not like gNewSense, you can try Trisquel. However, none of those distros will give you wireless because your internal card still requires non-free firmware. None of those distros will ever give you non-free firmware. If the network forensic software you require is free, then you should be able to find it in one of those distros. If it is non-free, you will not. > Then, I am using USB and UnetBooting to try all distro but is like the > Russian roulette, most 50% or more I am getting corrupted ISO, Toasted:). Your download might be corrupt or the USB drive might be corrupt. You should verify the ISO after you download it to be sure it is not corrupted. > There are some distro quite strong in terms of firewall, such as Linux > Browser and/orMijnPup52, Puppy etc. > > Please, could you tell me the difference from choosing a download type such > as ISO and/or IMEG? ISO and IMG are different file system types used to create images of, for example, CDs and DVDs. For practical purposes there is no difference between them (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMG_%28file_format%29). > Again, I very much appreciate your time, thnaks Alberts and have a nice day! Unfortunately, if you choose to use non-free firmware for your wireless then we will not be able to help you. Good luck with whatever you decide. _______________________________________________ gNewSense-users mailing list gNewSense-users@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnewsense-users
