[ So, while we are on the subject, I'm curious! You might be aware of
the fact that for the forthcoming Debian Squeeze release, the Debian
kernel team has split away all (known to them) non-free firmware bits
to a separate package firmware-linux-nonfree, which is not part of
Debian. Those non-free firmware bits will not be part of the default
installation image either. Considering that, what would be the
differences of gNewSense with Debian Squeeze, once the latter get
released? ]
Back on topic: it would be wonderful to have gNewSense listed at
http://www.debian.org/misc/children-distros. Can you please mail a brief
description of the distro to the mail address reported on that page?
Thanks!
Cheers.
