So Many Distros, So Little Time

Do we really need a separate distribution like GNewSense strictly for ideological purity? Ubuntu can be made truly free by removing the restricted modules package and leaving the multiverse packages disabled. That’s all you need to do. Not hard, is it? If Feisty Fawn, the next release, includes binary blobs in the kernel as Red Hat/Fedora does then there is exactly one extra step: recompile the kernel leaving out the offending bits. That’s the worst case scenario for ANY Linux distribution.
