Hello!
I installed gnewsense as surrogat for debian because of its intention to
keep it more free than debian can maintain and I´m happy, that there is
the old init system still alive. Call me paranoid but systemd is
developed by redhat which counts more than 50% of its turnover by the
us-government which is killing so called "terrorists" without giving
them a chance to defeat themselves in front of a court, often killing
more people as necessary regarding to their shady list. I have no doubt,
that many programs have backdoors and I´m not installing more programs
than I definitively need (As far as my know-how allows to realize).
Sadly a browser is needed and the version of gnewsense`s iceweasel is a
little bit old. The default browser cannot handle https so I must use
Iceweasel, even if there are permanent callback routines in this program
from google and symantec.
But what I want to know is, can gnewsense be safe without the usually
nearly daily updates debian and other maintainers are releasing?
Where can 'I find more Information on this issue?
Thanks ,
Olle Knolle
