Hello world! The gNewSense project is pleased to announce version 2.3 of its FSF Free GNU/Linux distribution, in the form of a point update to the release codenamed ‘deltah’. Users of earlier gNewSense 2.x releases can update to 2.3 with a standard system update. A short list of relevant changes for this release is: * [...] Linux has, in some ways, always been a bit politicized in the sense that there are true believers among Linux users and developers that all software should be truly free.

After all, isn’t free software what GNU/Linux is all about? Yet, when the latest version of GNewSense was announced recently, Slashdot readers were divided in their reactions. Some thought the distribution would have too limited appeal, and argued that [...] Free software lovers can rejoice at this month’s release of gNewSense 2.0 (pronounced “guh-new-sense”), the latest version of the popular distribution based on Ubuntu Hardy Heron.
