Re: [Trisquel-users] The future of Libre Computing: Crowd Funding Campaign Starts Now

FSF doesn't recommend Debian because it promotes nonfree software.
However, I think that if you ship a system with a custom Debian install, you  
can say you aren't using Debian, but custom firmware. Similar to how  
Replicant is based on Android but is considered free.
Regardless, I'm of the view free hardware is more important than whether the  
OS is entirely FSDG-compliant, so long as I don't have to use non free  
software (as far as possible currently).
