Hello!
I installed gnewsense as surrogat for debian because of its intention
to keep it more free than debian can maintain and I´m happy, that
there is the old init system still alive. Call me paranoid but systemd
is developed by redhat which counts more than 50% of its turnover by
the us-government which is killing so called "terrorists" without
giving them a chance to defeat themselves in front of a court, often
killing more people as necessary regarding to their shady list. I have
no doubt, that many programs have backdoors and I´m not installing
more programs than I definitively need (As far as my know-how allows
to realize).
Sadly a browser is needed and the version of gnewsense`s iceweasel is
a little bit old. The default browser cannot handle https so I must
use Iceweasel, even if there are permanent callback routines in this
program from google and symantec.
But what I want to know is, can gnewsense be safe without the usually
nearly daily updates debian and other maintainers are releasing?
Where can 'I find more Information on this issue?
Thanks ,
Olle Knolle
