from the data I get from below


    http://toolbar.netcraft.com/site_report?url=http://www.gnewsense.org


    I just wonder if the gnewsense OS is being distributed through the

    very non free OSes


    http://www.gnewsense.org/FAQ/FAQ#toc3


The words "being distributed through" are not entirely clear to me.

Does that refer to the following?


    Perhaps the website is run by gnewsense itself and netcraft wrongly

    identifies it as Ubuntu.


That could be so.  Or perhaps their server is running Ubuntu.


I think it would be a good idea for the gNewSense server to run

gNewSense.  However, I don't criticize people for running Ubuntu, just

as I don't criticize people for running OpenBSD.  You can make an

all-free installation if you choose to.
