Hi everybody, I just wanted to say hello to everybody, introduce myself, and ask when/if guys use the #gNewSense IRC. I 'stopped by' a couple of times and there was a peaceful silence and little more. It was during the evening of the US Eastern Time (I live in Florida). Are most of you in Europe (where I originally come from), Africa or Asia or is the gNewSense community still really that small? ;-)
Either way - the gNewSense community is getting a new member with me this afternoon as I am about to make a HD install of gNewSense on my main computer. A couple of words about myself: I am a happy Debian-Sarge user, but I also tried the Debian-Sid-based Kanotix distro for my main computer but this distro seems pretty much dead right now. So I needed to switch and gNewSense came out. Since I fully support the values behind gNewSense and since I wrote a short review of it for distrowatch (http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20070108#reviews) and I will now make it my main distro. I wonder how the Ubuntu/Debian people view gNewSense, as a subsegment of Ubuntu/Debian, or as a fork alien to its origin? I tried the Ubuntu IRC and they seemed to be somewhat less than enthusiastic about gNewSense :-( Either way - I think that gNewSense is a fanstastic idea and I very much believe in its future.
