gNewSense is a GNU/Linux operating system that uses free software. gNewSense is based on Ubuntu. It tries to maintain the user-friendliness of Ubuntu but with most non-free software and binary blobs removed. The Free Software Foundation considers gNewSense to be a free operating system.gNewSense takes a relatively strict stance against non-free software. For example, any documentation that gives instructions on installing non-free software is excluded.The project was launched by Brian Brazil and Paul O'Malley in 2006. In October 2006, after the 0.85 release, it was given assistance by the Free Software Foundation.http://www.gnewsense.org/
