>Also swap out kernels
Why? The kernel is free, deblobbed.
>Replace Firefox
Icecat is already ready. No big issues, it would appear.
>modify the installer to get rid of those various verboten prompts
Never saw one, but that too wouldn't seem a big issue
>rebrand everything, and more
What exactly? That's just very vague..

to classify their work as "just" removing the non-free stuff.
I think it does a disservice to the users to ship an old distro, oh wait, it
is not ready yet - I'll correct myself - to ship an ancient distro.
(And this comes from someone who never suffered from versionitis. In fact I
use only Debian Stable and always will, unless change distro, gentoo maybe,
RMS concurs)
>it seems to minimize & trivialize their efforts
Not my intention. just pointing out what to me seems logical. A developer who
has no time should not take the longer way 'coz you know Buguntu is more
friendly and well known'..
>Sorry, Mr. Tramp this is not really directed to you.
Even if it was, why sorry? We are here to discuss openly and freely and in a,
I would hope, decent if not friendly manner
