We have a gNewSense Documentation[1] (wiki) for users to get acquainted
with gNewSense. For gNewSense installation help, you my take a look at
this page[2], you will definitely jostle with hard-disk partitioning
which might be a night-mare for new-users, you may want to take a look
at this page[3] to get a taste of GNU/Linux hard-disk partitioning.

Period.
The present stable version of gNewSense is pretty old but the fact
remains true that it ensures that all the programs that can be installed
in the distribution are free as in freedom.
Also I did hours and hours of research over the past few days and have
learned a lot in regards to GNU/Linux or rather as Richard Stallmam says,
"GNU+Linux. I did much research and would like to know if gNewSense can
handle a variety of Multimedia production applications such as a Video
Editor and a Digital Audio Workststion (DAW) much like Ardour?
http://ardour.org/
In other words, can it install and run most applications that work with
Ubuntu?
The present stable version of gNewSense is based on ubuntu "hardy".
Therefore, it should run application that work in ubuntu provided that
the application is free as freedom.
FYI, There are "free as in freedom" distros that are wholly meant for
video & audio production. You may be interested to test drive those
distros. For more info, go here:
