From the GNUbuntu dept.:
gNewSense 2.0 has just been released. It is based off Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron which was released just a week ago, so this is a brand new thing for everyone who wishes to run a pure Free Software system. However, there is much more to it than being a system for uncompromising Freedomware enthusiasts.

Even if you are not eager to run 100% pure Free Software system, gNewSense is a great way to see just how much is still missing from a truly GNU and Linux based Free Operating System today therefore emphasizing what Free Software developers and community testers should focus on improving or developing. That said, it also shows just how far has a Freedomware OS come, as many may run it without any problems and missing functionalities if you have the right hardware configuration.
