gNewSense 3.0 Beta 2 发布，基于Debian的Linux发行

作为一份由自由软件基金会赞助的产品，gNewSense是基于Debian的Linux发行，它发布时包含了一些改进，但不包含任何私有或非自由的组件。特别地，所有的私有固件、受限制的模块。该计划的目标是创建一份完全自由的Linux发行。

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.
