Guys, the original thread was on building an *buntu distro that has all
its desktop distros integrated together just like Mandriva, Fedora and
Debian.
GNU/Linux is an OS and according to me is any distro that uses part
GNU's tools and part Linus's kernel. Since GNU as an OS could not get
completed without a kernel, it was Linus's kernel that finally got it
going, hence GNU/Linux. Therefore practically all linux distros are
GNU/Linux irrespective of added on closed drivers.
People may not care about freedom and use propriety software or FOSS if
its cheaper and more flexible. However lack of awareness of freedom is
no reason to make it less important. Just as lack of etiquette and civic
sense does not reduce their importance. Sometimes we value things more
when they become rare. In the transition stage we have no choice but to
use GNU/Linux with closed firmware/software but the ultimate goal is to
be totally free.
Just my 2 cents.
