I just subcribed to this list and as yet have recieved no mailings to reply to, but this is relevent to the earlier posts about the gnu gnu-linux discussion. As the one poster said this will probably never be resolved and I don't wish to open that can of worms. The discussion did get me curious and I checked the gnu web page as I hadn't looked at it in some time and it pretty surprising to look at the listed "free distributions". None of what I considered to be the major players in early linux development were listed for various reasons. They also offered scripts to remove the "blobs" from the vanilla linux kernel. I took a quick look at one of the "de-blob" scripts and was surprised at how extensive it was. My question is to anyone that has experience or expertise in this area: Would these kernels lose considerable functionality compared to a regular kernel ?
