Why do you ask this here instead of asking it to the people who develop the ubuntu website? I don't get it. Anyway for what I experienced, Ubuntu prefers technical convenience instead of freedom. Freedom is not their top priority and Ubuntu is not a fully free software GNU/Linux distribution. It includes non free firmware and non free drivers in their Linux kernel, non free software in all their repository and in the default installation too. If you wish to support free software I suggest you to switch to a fully free software GNU/Linux distribution that has FREEDOM has its top priority like these ones: http://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.html If you like Ubuntu then you could try Trisquel which is ubuntu based. gNewSense 3.0 instead will be based on Debian Squeeze and it is currently in development stage. -- Graziano Sorbaioli - http://sorbaioli.org LibrePlanet Italia Founder - http://groups.fsf.org/wiki/LibrePlanetItalia gNewSense Community Manager - http://www.gnewsense.org Free Software Foundation member - http://www.fsf.org _______________________________________________ Discussion mailing list [email protected] https://mail.fsfeurope.org/mailman/listinfo/discussion
