Projects

GNU/Linux Distributions

• BLAG Linux and GNU, a free GNU/Linux distribution based on Fedora.
• Dragora, an independent GNU/Linux distribution based on concepts of simplicity.
• Dynebolic, a GNU/Linux distribution, with special emphasis on audio and video editing.
• gNewSense, a GNU/Linux distribution based on Debian and Ubuntu, with sponsorship from the FSF.
• Musix GNU+Linux, a GNU+Linux distribution based on Knoppix, with special emphasis on audio production.
• Trisquel, a GNU/Linux distribution oriented to small enterprises, domestic users and educational centers.

Linux Distributions

• The Linux-libre kernel

Mozilla Distributions

• GNUzilla and IceCat - Gnuzilla is the GNU version of the Mozilla suite, and GNU IceCat is the GNU version of the Firefox browser. Its main advantage is an ethical one: it is entirely free software.

Live USB creator

• FUSBi, the Free USB Installer, downloads free GNU/Linux Distributions for you and creates bootable USB images.

OpenOffice Extensions

• A replacement extension library for OpenOffice.org, which will list only those extensions which are free software. [1]
