Re: [gNewSense-users] does Gnewsense have any support for Lemote Fuloong mini ?

[matti christensen]

many thanks for your immediate answer

it happens that i've used Linux for a very long time ( from 1.2.13 )  
but got this box just while ago - and i'd like to keep on using Linux

now the box is running OpenBSD because they have working installation  
for start - but a problem with framebuffer resolution (  
http://www.openbsd.org/loongson.html ) and of course a lot of stuff  
that i don't need on my desktop, as usually

Gnewsense interests me because of the freedom of stuff that i don't  
want into my system - hope i have some way of getting it running
