I think I said this before, but I don't mind repeating it ad nauseam ;-) There's no reason a modified version of Debian that includes non-free blobs needs to be harder to install or harder to find. Take, for example, the NSLU builds which include non-free firmware. They are in fact better maintained for NSLU hardware than official builds, since almost nobody uses pure Debian on a NSLU (network requires a USB dongle). Whether it's harder to install or not, it depends on you. We don't have a foundation document saying it must be. -- Robert Millan The DRM opt-in fallacy: "Your data belongs to us.
