-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi there!
Must put my cards on the table - I'm a relative newbie and am currently using Ubuntu Dapper Drake on an Acer laptop. I dumped Windows XP on the laptop (my home machine) and went to GNU/Linux as a moral step to the high ground - I was sick of constant security updates, feeling locked into the Windows upgrade cycle, and (although not a programmer) am more impressed by the culture of open/free software. The only additional packages I have installed beyond the base "off the disc" installation are Thunderbird (I don't need Evolution's full PIM functionality), Seahorse key manager, network-manager, Gnomebaker, and the ugly pack for Gstreamer (I have a lot of .mp3 files left over from when I was using Window$, sorry...). How free is my installation? I have been told that Ubuntu installs non-free drivers without telling me, but how do I find out which ones? I appreciate this isn't strictly a GNewsense question, but you guys would be the ones to ask! Cheers, and thanks in anticipation, Damian -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFec7GfQfOxlaoXR0RAlTBAKCKmg9wej0PsIwhm8R77mCpbmnIiACeLw2n 29DjtSNfkJ+iXeChmhzX1YE= =rRJI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ gNewSense-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnewsense-users
