Now is the day for Ututo!

Oh ship, my computer burst into flames.

Leonardo? Is that you?
p.s - Never tried to install gentoo or ututo - Indeed I distrohopped a lot but always stayed in the realm of Bubbuntu base.. I'm a noob same if not more (probably more) then you!
ciao
looking at the packages used in dsl:
http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/packages.html
the only non-free programs that i recodnized were
firefox(easily replaced with icecat)
and the linux kernel which would have some non-free firmware
so if you can install dsl and then replace the kernel with linux-libre
and replace Firefox and any other non-free programs
with nothing or libre replacements
then you could make it libre
it should not be too hard for somone who knows about to make a gnu/linux distro (not me let but i am trying to learn)
to remove all the non-free parts and make
damm libre gnu
--"It's based on Debian Woody. Going from 2.4 to 3.10 (oldest kernel jxself's reps) might not work out but I'm sure there are older kernels floating around somewhere."
Considering even the newest Linux kernels would've probably been 2.6.God-knows-what under the old versioning, I don't know why it shouldn't.
You can hunt for old kernels here, though:oldarchive.trisquel.info
I would be really interested in a free version of gentoo since it builds everything from source, hence i don't have to trust some guy who built a binary;
but ututo...? i checked out their website and noooo.....
i wonder how hard it is to free gentoo on my own; couldn't find info about their repositories and used licenses.
Sure the kernel is easy to replace.
It is easy to get a free Gentoo (which still recommends proprietary software though): you want 'ACCEPT_LICENSE="-* @FSF-APPROVED"' in /etc/make.conf and 'deblob' in your USE variable (in /etc/portage/make.conf).
Never thought it was that easy.
Thanks, MB!
The Ututo project is going to get back on track again by the hand of the members of the ututo community, who took the project under their wing trying to rescue it. Since the main developers drop it back in 2013. But wheter they are gonna be able to do it or not who knows. I hope they can make it, even when i didn't really liked Gentoo, and only tested Ututo a couple of times. It particularly concerns me in the sense that i'm argentinean myself, and it is not good for this country to lost such important contribution that distro was, not only for this country but for the the whole free software community.
