gNewSense is derived from Ubuntu Linux, and has most of the same functionality. However, it removed all the non-free blobs from distro i.e. it only ship with free and open software. It has no proprietary modules or software:
* Firmware removed from kernel in main
* Builder, a tool to produce a distribution
* Restricted removed
* Ubuntu logos replaced
* Universe enabled by default
* emacs, bsdgames, nethack and build-essential part of the default install
=> Download gNewSense Linux distribution.
