Hi, I wonder myself why gNewSense isn't directly derived from Debian GNU/Linux. I don't see an advantage using Ubuntu Linux as the base. But there would be advantages if gNewSense was a version of Debian GNU/Linux with only main and the Firmware removed from Linux: - not derived from a »Linux« - does not ship Firefox - much more install options (e.g. USB memory stick) - much more supported platforms
I haven't performed an install of Ubuntu Linux yet but I have heard it were more »user friendly« because of its improved hardware support and its nicer graphics. As gNewSense has less hardware supported because of the removed firmware the first argument doesn't fly. The second either as with etch Debian GNU/Linux will have also a »graphical« installer. -- Regards, Max Moritz Sievers _______________________________________________ gNewSense-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnewsense-users
