you got it wrong the wrong way :-).

debian does describe non free software. gnu also links
to debian unlike what rms said.

she came up with one issue i didnt have a solution
for. she wants to voice chat and view webcam with my
cousin in the US. she used yahoo for this. the webcam
didnt work and the yahoo doesnt support this under
linux. so i had to switch back to windows for her.
