   I don't think !Ubuntu qualifies as a !GNU system, !Fedora on the other hand.... http://2tu.us/1atp

     @chicagonpg BTW, there should be an NSFHumans warning for that page just sent to !Fedora (the sidebar ads are IP targeted offensive porn.)

     @cabrey First off I use !Ubuntu and !Fedora. Just saying that !RMS doesn't really think !Ubuntu is a !GNU system in his eyes.

     @chicagonpg Yes. That's why there is an !Ubuntu based distro called !gNewSense, where non-free blobs are removed.

     @snarf How is gNewSense nowadays?

     Thursday, 24-Dec-09 01:55:14 UTC
   • snarf Sean Tilley

     @notmyfuckingidentica gNewSense is based on LTS, so with Lucid on the way I guess big changes are in store.

   • Freemor snarf

     @snarf my understanding was that the next iteration of gNS would be based on Debian.. (I could be wrong but that was the last I heard)

   • Sean Tilley snarf

     @snarf Ah, I figured. Does this mean all the Ayantana work comes to gNewSense with Lucid LTS?

   • snarf Freemor

     @freemor If it's recent news, then you are probably be right. However, I'll try to verify it.

     Thursday, 24-Dec-09 02:53:03 UTC
   • snarf Sean Tilley

     @notmyfuckingidentica Correction, gNewSense will be based on Debian not Ubuntu. More information on the mailing list: http://is.gd/5zoOt.

     @freemor Thank you for alerting us of the change.

     @snarf News to me, I guess.

     @chicagonpg !ubuntu is certainly a !GNU system, just like any other #GNU/!Linux distribution.

   • Shaun Mallette Ubuntu users , Ted Smith

     @teddks Is everything in !Ubuntu supported by the !FSF? No, that is why they have !gNewSense that is based on Ubuntu stripped down.

     @chicagonpg There's also Gobuntu, but I don't know how far that one takes it compared to gNewSense.

   • Shaun Mallette ClaudioM

     @claudiom I forgot about !Gobuntu I will have to check that one out to see how it is developing.
