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.

Debian? If it only has free packages, then it’s just debian…
I don’t get the point of this distribution.
How is this different than
Hurd?
OpenBSD?
A new orthodox church?
Invalid gNewSense link must be to this.
one addition:
gNewSense adopt Epiphany as deafult browser on GNOME desktop.
Fixed, thanks for the heads up.
The link to download is pointing to this page. Does not take you to the actual download site.
Thanks,
