作为一份由自由软件基金会赞助的产品，gNewSense是基于Ubuntu的Linux发行，它发布时包含了一些改进，但不包含任何私有或非自由的组件。

特别地，所有的私有固件、受限制的模块、Ubuntu的徽标，都被移除了，而“Universe”软件仓库缺省被选中，一些GNU应用软件如 Emacs和开发库，以及bsdgames和NetHack，都被包含在缺省安装中。该计划的目标是创建一份完全自由的Linux发行。

Brian Brazil has announced the first beta release of gNewSense 2.0， an Ubuntu-based distribution with the goal of strictly adhering to the software freedom ideals defined by Free Software Foundation： "I've just released the live CD for gNewSense 1.9， the BETA for deltah. Features since 1.1 include： now based on Ubuntu Hardy Heron； new artwork； switched from BurningDog （Firefox） to Epiphany； switched to BLAG's deblob script for the kernel； non-free GLX removed from X/mesa； Builder： use chroot for building； Builder - added support for Debian source packages. As this is a beta release， there are still things which aren't perfect. Please report any bugs you find - especially if they aren't present in Hardy. A 2.0 live CD is planned to be released in a day or two. It will be possible to upgrade from a 1.9 install." Here is the brief release announcement.
