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 final release of gNewSense 2.0 "DeltaH", a 100% "libre" distribution based on the recently released Ubuntu 8.04: "I've just released the live CD for gNewSense 2.0, the first full release of 'DeltaH'. This is less than a week after 'Hardy Heron' was released. All bugs reported since the 1.9 beta have been addressed. Features since 1.1: now based on Ubuntu 'Hardy Heron'; new artwork; switched from BurningDog (Firefox) to Epiphany; switched to BLAG's 'deblob' script for the kernel; non-free GLX removed from X/mesa; builder - use chroot for building; builder - added support for Debian source packages." Here are the brief release announcement and release notes. Download: gnewsense-livecd-deltah-2.0.iso (688MB, MD5, torrent). |
