“Saiu a lista de metas de especificação para o próximo Ubuntu, a ser lançado em abril de 2007. A que eu mais gostei foi a intenção de alertar os usuários quando eles estiverem usando drivers binários, mas a que está em primeiro na lista (o network roaming) também me interessa bastante, pois levo a vida conectando meu notebook a várias redes sem fio diferentes todos os dias.”
* we are completely dependent on the hardware vendor for bug fixes, even for security bugs
* security fixes need careful testing, because we don't know what changed in the update
* we don't know the vendor's roadmap for updates
* we don't have any service-level agreement
* any problems with the "tainted" kernel will not get attention from upstream kernel developers.
When you install Ubuntu almost all of the software installed already meets these ideals, and we are working to ensure that every single piece of software you need is available under a licence that *gives you those freedoms*. _Currently, we make a specific *exception* for some "drivers" which are only available in binary form_, without which many computers will not complete the Ubuntu installation. We place these in a restricted section of your system which makes them trivial to remove if you do not need them.
We are installing non-Free drivers by default
Ficou muito chato de configurar a rede ... o painel do Ubuntu simplesmente não funciona ... e para fazer via shell são uns quantos comandos!
