gNewSense 3.0 Beta 2 發布，基于Debian的Linux發行

作為一份由自由軟件基金會贊助的產品，gNewSense是基于Debian的Linux發行，它發布時包含了一些改進，但不包含任何私有或非自由的組件。特別地，所有的私有固件、受限制的模塊。該計劃的目標是創建一份完全自由的Linux發行。

Sam Geeraerts has announced the availability of the second beta release of gNewSense 3.0, a Debian-based Linux distribution built strictly from

"libre" components only: " The second beta release of gNewSense 3.0 (code name 'Parkes') is available for download. The following issues have been fixed: the live installer (which can be started with the icon on the live desktop) works now, you also still have the text and GUI install boot menu options; the graphical installer now looks like gNewSense instead of Debian; OpenOffice.org is included in the default install; the boot menu is shorter so that items at the bottom are more easily readable. There's only a live CD for i386 so far. Netboot images will follow shortly. I will provide a live CD for amd64 too, but that needs a bit more work."

Here is the brief release announcement as published on the project's mailing list.
