BOSTON, MA, USA — May 1, 2008 — The gNewSense project today announced
the release of DeltaH[1], the second version of their all free-software
GNU/Linux distribution.
The DeltaH download web page states[2], "DeltaH was our second major
release, based on Ubuntu Hardy. 2.0 was released on May 1st 2008 -
less than a week after Hardy's release."
The gNewSense project dubs itself as "A free as in freedom GNU/Linux
distribution, that takes all the non-free blobs out of a rather
popular distribution."
In addition to stripping binary blobs from the kernel, the package and
source trees contain only free software drivers, and do not offer
access to any proprietary software. Because of this commitment to free
software, the Free Software Foundation and the GNU project recommend
that users seeking to install a distribution of GNU/Linux consider
installing gNewSense.
The developers of gNewSense invite those interested in discussing this
latest release to join their mailing list[3] or join them on
irc.freenode.net in the #gnewsense channel.

Quelqu'un a déjà testé une de ces distrib 100% libre.
Car je serai interessé de savoir s'il est possible d'exploiter un pc standard correctement. Je pense surtout aux drivers (son, wireless, gpu, ...).
Je sais pas jusqu'à quel point c'est expérimental.
Make it run, make it correct, make it fast : Keep it SIMPLE

Salut, je n'ai jamais testé celle-ci. Mais ma machine sous Debian n'utilise que des drivers libres ... en fait ça va dépendre de ta machine.

Moui...
Si tu parles de ton portable X61, il est basé sur une plateforme intel embarquant une carte wifi demandant un firmware qui n'est pas vraiment considéré comme libre par plein de gens.

Re: [FSF] Get DeltaH, gNewSense 2.0
Je crois que ça a changé :
The iwlwifi project can be found in kernels 2.6.24 and up. You thus do not need a driver from this site if you are using one of these kernels.
ou est-ce que le code dans le noyau ne fonctionne pas sans ce firmware ?
Sinon, voilà les infos que j'ai trouvé à propos de la licence du firmware :

et à propos du firmware

mais sans pouvoir répondre à ma question.

Apparemment, un microcode est nécessaire pour faire tourner les cartes wifi intel même si le driver en temps que tel est libre :
