Re: [Trisquel-users] Ranking the 100% free distributions

[chris]

As others have stated gNewSense is not dormant although I'm not sure I'd say  
it is an actively maintained distribution either. Does anybody know if  
packages are ever updated? I'm referring to security updates mainly in  
between releases.

They release new versions every few years and let it sit largely unmaintained  
between versions I believe. It isn't a distribution for the faint of heart.  
If you plan to actively use it there will a lot of manual work involved  
keeping things running.
