replies: text: some of it is gratis. sudo apt-get install vrms and then run it. For example, the restricted drivers manager in Feisty installs non-free  drivers.  --Laugh! 01:29, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't really care about free software vs. proprietary software or free of charge free software vs. freeware, just as long as I can use it easily (what good is source code if the software is a piece of junk).  Tcrow777  talk  01:29, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

text: Then simply put, you aren't the person this is targeted towards. Anyway, this is off topic. talk pages should be used for discussion of improvement on the article, not the subject of it --Lie! 17:00, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I am going to stick with Freespire, it has a lot of non-free software and satisfies my boycott of GPLv3 software.  Tcrow777  talk  20:59, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Hm, as far as I see it, the official mirror still only carries a release of 7.10. I've edited the page accordingly.

replies: text: The mailing list (according to its archives) is extremely dead since the discussion of Shuttleworth's Gobuntu-should-help-gNewSense post died down... I've inquired about 8.04 there but I've yet to receive any answer. Their wiki states a planned new homepage and artworks for Gobuntu as well, which aren't there yet, as well.

text: Check the download link on The Gobuntu page it is still 7.10. - Ahunt (talk) 17:33, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

text: I just checked the Gobuntu download page (hover over the download link to see the file name) and it is "http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/gobuntu/releases/7.10/release/" So the latest version remains 7.10 and not 8.04. - Ahunt (talk) 15:12, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Fair enough. Just so you know my sources however: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/gobuntu-devel/2008-June/000805.html Altonbr (talk) 20:34, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The ref makes it sound like they will mail out CDs of Gobuntu 8.04, even though it is not available as a download yet. Seems odd. Since Mark Shuttleworth's post the project seems to have lost momentum. - Ahunt (talk) 20:53, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: That's because the project is merging back with Ubuntu, hopefully giving users the ability to select "only free software" and actually mean it. That was posted on the Gobuntu list, but might not even happen. Altonbr (talk) 22:18, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Then we should probably reference that and insert that info into the article. No you have the link where it says that? - Ahunt (talk) 00:30, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
