gnewsense

Published November 3rd, 2006 in Free Software/Open Source.

Gnewsense 1.0 is out! At last we have a 100% Free, state of the art GNU/Linux distribution. The FSF press release can be found here.

For the curious - the FSF has contributed (a lot of) bandwidth and a high-end server to the project. It’s a Tyan S2882 based box with dual-dual core AMD Opteron CPUs and a load of RAM. And, it runs LinuxBIOS - no proprietary BIOS is involved in the serving of gnewsense to the masses.
