Hi,
I read the faq at http://www.gnewsense.org/index.php?n=FAQ.FAQ#toc13 .
Why is gNewSense 3.0 going to be based on Debian instead of Ubuntu?
Are there ethical as well as technical reasons, or only ethical? I'm
interested to know.
Cheers

I am quite happy about the change, but would also like to know why.
Just speculating, but I suppose that there may be multiple reasons.

Ubuntu also supports AMD64, but gNewSense never did. So it seems to
follow that just because Debian supports 21 different architectures it
does not necessarily follow that gNewSense must, or will.

Hi,
Well Ubuntu works on Mac (old architecture) too.
But as gNS stay Free like Freedom ;)
And if it can protect our privacy too ...

My fault, I'll take the bullet for that one.

Absolutely, there is no valid reason for us to try and support all
architectures supported by debian - with our current development group
(less then 5).
