gNewSense 3.0 Beta 1 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 initial beta release of gNewSense 3.0. gNewSense is a Debian-based distribution sponsored by Free Software Foundation and built strictly from free ("libre") software only. This version is based on Debian 6.0 "Squeeze" (with GNOME 2). From the release announcement: " The beta release of gNewSense 3.0 (code name 'Parkes') is available for download. There are netboot images for all 3 architectures and a live CD for i386. I'd like some feedback on that first before I spend time on creating a live CD for amd64. I also hope to resolve some of the following issues with the live CD shortly: the live installer (which can be started with the icon on the live desktop) fails at step 'Configure the package manager', the text and GUI install (started from the boot menu) do work; you get an i486 kernel by default, you can install the i686 kernel like any other package once you've booted the system; boot menu items Memtest86+ and Help fall off the bottom of the screen...."
