It isnt a question of whether Ubuntu is my distro of choice. Distros can be replaced.
The real question is whether it requires proprietry devce drivers.
Did they use Ubuntu becaus of proprietary device drivers?
Or because it happens to be one of the most popular distros around?
I've been told Ubuntu has licenced proprietary software.
usually what it is is that ubuntu offers "convenience" by providing all of the proprietary WIFI drivers and anything else they can get their hands on, *completely* undermining the *entire* purpose of the software libre ethical objectives.
