[Fsf-friends] Re: Free Software CD's (Clean Distributions) and learning to reason

[Richard Stallman]

    We heavy rely upon the commercial distributions for installing the 
    kernel, shells, cron, gcc, KDE, GNOME and the basic directories and 
    scripts that we collectively call the system.

The main problem with the commercial distributions of GNU/Linux
is that they all (based on the last info available to me) include 
some non-free software.  That is a problem we very much want to solve.

    Ideally, we should compile the other 
    applications we use regularly, from source.

There is someone who is trying to create a GNU package to help users do
this.  I am not sure he has the ability to make it technically as good as
"Linux" From Scratch, but if some of you want to do a lot of work on it,
maybe that is enough resources to compete.  Are people interested?
