Named [gNewSense][1], the new package was created by two Irish free software advocates, Brian Brazil and Paul O'Malley. The developers' goal was to create a GNU/Linux distribution where all sources, from the kernal itself to the applications in the system, were free and available to user. Ted Teah, the FSF's software directory maintainer says, "with all the kernel firmware and restricted repositories removed, and the reliance on Ubuntu's proprietary distribution management tool gone, this distribution is the most advanced GNU/Linux distribution that has a commitment to be 100% free." The developers added that their aim is "to produce a fully free distribution, not to have as many features as possible." I want to get behind this because I'm a big supporter of free software, but there seems to be something perverse about ditching features and therefore usefulness just to gain total freedom. What good is freedom if I can't use it? And I get the pun in the name, but I also can't help wondering if perhaps the FSF isn't becoming more of fringe "nuisance" than a viable "new sense."
