Note that, in practice, the non-libre software flash plugin, opera,
nvidia's drivers and lot of wifi firmwares works well in Debian. I'm
sorry, but, my systems have a little bit of non-free softwares, and
works better with them. No free alternative can allow me to use
things
the way I want: firefox lacks lot of features opera have, gnash is
just
useless in practice for streaming, nouveau does not give me full 3D
acceleration, and there are simply no free wifi drivers.
Even on "totally free systems", your BIOS's code is not free. I like
idealism, but thinking that you can really be completely free is a
dream. And if you want something completely free, go try
distributions
approved by FSF. Debian is not, because it eases access to non-free
softwares. In my mind, Debian makes you more free, because it makes
you
free to have non free softwares.
But, anyway, I do not think that this debate is useful. No one will
convince others I bet.
