| 作为一份由自由软件基金会赞助的产品，gNewSense是基于Ubuntu的Linux发行，它发布时包含了一些改进，但不包含任何私有或非自由的组
件。特别地，所有的私有固件、受限制的模块、Ubuntu的徽标，都被移除了，而“Universe”软件仓库缺省被选中，一些GNU应用软件如
Emacs和开发库，以及bsdgames和NetHack，都被包含在缺省安装中。该计划的目标是创建一份完全自由的Linux发行。 Brian Brazil has announced the release of gNewSense 2.1, an updated version of the Ubuntu-based distribution which contains free software only: "I've just released the live CD for gNewSense 2.1, the second full release of 'DeltaH'. This brings in a number of updates, fixes and improvements. Changes since 2.0 include: Linux-ubuntu-modules cleared of non-free blobs; usplash added; new theme and artwork; re-added fix for module-init-tools for eepro100; builder - live CD no longer asks for password on sudo; builder - added support for extra repositories in python-apt; builder - various tweaks, fixes and improvements. Upgrading from 1.9/2.0: Follow the upgrade notifications in GNOME. There's no need to download the 2.1 CD. To change to the gNewSense theme in GNOME, go to System -> Preferences -> Appearance. Select 'gNewSense' in the 'Themes' tab and press 'Close'." Read the full release announcement for more details. Download: gnewsense-livecd-deltah-2.1.iso (604MB, MD5, torrent). |
