gNewSense takes a relatively strict stance against non-free software. For example, any documentation that gives instructions on installing non-free software is excluded. ref:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNewSense >Just add any Ubuntu or Debian repo and you can have that all. if i chaged the repo, now i fear that i may lose the essence of gnewsense. so i'm trying to use gnewsense making minimum changes. it may possible to change the repo completely; then we cannot call it as gnewsense. ref: http://wiki.gnewsense.org/ForumMain/QuestionsAboutTheRelationWithUbuntu these are not my words: "If you want to use the gNewSense operating system, then I would NOT recommend installing packages from any other version of Ubuntu, gNewSense, or any other operating system. If you want a few of the newest software applications that are not currently available in gNewSense, then installing them in, for example, "/usr/local" is no problem. But to change the repositories to point to a different operating system or version (or to even just add a repository) would cause big big irreversible trouble. And by "irreversible", I mean "it's time to reinstall the operating system!" :-P This principle of not "mixing and matching" software repositories is true for pretty much any GNU/Linux distribution.
