(By that last bit, I meant the GNOME Online Desktop stuff going on in Red Hat atm, announced at the GUADEC.) And to clarify, I don't mean to recommend Novell or diss any distro in particular; the point of gNewSense AIUI is to be able to not recommend _any_ other distro, because they _all_ act in a way that supports the belief that proprietary software is okay. My point is that gNewSense could as easily be built from OpenSUSE and Ubuntu at the moment. With Gobuntu and a fully free Fedora 8 or 9, its unlikely to be OpenSUSE because it would require a lot more work (of the kind already undertaken by the gNS community to actually check that Ubuntu Dapper main + universe _is_ 100% free software) but if another distro is providing the best user experience, it is worth making a fully free version of that distro, imo. -- Regards, Dave _______________________________________________ gNewSense-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnewsense-users
