Barrapunto

Por favor, ¿me pueden explicar que es "usar Debian a pelo"? ¿Se refiere a usar GNU/Linux por terminal? porque no entiendo cual es el problema. Lo digo en serio que alguien me aclare. :-) Otra pregunta y antes de que me ataquen: he usado mucho tiempo Debian GNU/Linux, me encanta y funciona, sencillamente, pero, tengo la sensación de que Debian es la única abanderada del Free Software/Open Source, ¿no hay más? Gracias.

Hombre, siempre te queda fedora...

Debian

Debian's Social Contract does say that all software in the main distribution will be free software. Unfortunately, that's not always true in practice. Debian has repeatedly made tacit or explicit exceptions for specific pieces of nonfree software, such as the blobs included in or accompanying Linux. We're still hopeful that there won't be such exceptions in the future, but we can't turn a blind eye to the situation as it stands today.

Debian also provides a repository of nonfree software. According to the project, this software is "not part of the Debian system." We understand that's important for organizational reasons, but users would be hard-pressed to make a distinction. The repository is hosted on many of the project's main servers, and people can readily learn about software available through it by browsing Debian's online package database.

Fedora

Fedora does have a clear policy about what can be included in the distribution, and it seems to be followed carefully. The policy requires that most software and all fonts be available under a free license, but makes an exception for certain kinds of nonfree firmware. Unfortunately, the decision to allow that firmware in the policy keeps Fedora from meeting the free system distribution guidelines.
