I got my impression about this not being 100% free from the other comments
about him being somewhat vague on the complete freedom of the distro. On top
of that, he is creating a distro on the standard Ubuntu releases which the
FSF and RMS himself do not approve. I don't mind Ubuntu, but I know a lot in
the free software camp think it is bad news unless it is cleaned out like
Trisquel.
Another issue is if he can sustain the distribution once it is released.
Hopefully it isn't another one man team trying to change the world and loses
its potential within a year. That is why some of us were saying that it may
be better to focus on improving the applications and push them upstream into
the main projects like Gnome, KDE, and whatever core set of software that the
majority of distributions use.
Once his improvements are available for Fedora/CentOS/RedHat, OpenSuSE,
Slackware, Mageia, PCLinuxOS, and Arch in addition to the
Debian/Ubuntu/Trisquel crowd, then he has truely did the work he needed to.
From there, an option can be made in the install for those who need more
accessibilty.
A whole big project just to focus on one aspect that a small amount of users
use is unnecessary. Instead he should be in contact with Canonical and Redhat
in improving their installers by offering the improved options and make it
easy to access once installed.
