For kicks, I headed over to gnewsense.org. I really encourage people to check out the forums there ( http://wiki.gnewsense.org/ForumMain/ForumMain ) and see the kinds of quality discussions going on there: http://wiki.gnewsense.org/ForumMain/GNewSenseIsUgly http://wiki.gnewsense.org/ForumMain/WhyILikeGNewSense
Anyway, then I found this thread: http://wiki.gnewsense.org/ForumMain/WhatSucksAboutGNewSense and this email: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnewsense-users/2007-11/msg00042.html As it turns out, there are a bunch of pieces of non-free software in gNewSense, and the gNewSense people know it. *They just don't know where those pieces are.* And they are having a hard time thinking of a good way to even find all the non-free software that is in gNewSense right now. I'm not trying to bash gNewSense. They may be well-intentioned, and that's cool. I'm just writing this to lend perspective to Richard's endorsement of gNewSense and his rejection of OpenBSD. Thanks and regards, --ropers
