The Preliminary emphasis might be on components drivers, since “the conventional Ubuntu builds” contain a lot of closed source drivers.
In the meantime, some inside the Ubuntu community are skeptical of the whole Gobuntu principle. Jordan Mantha, a Paris-dependent Ubuntu developer, asks “If Gobuntu builders will likely be applying Launchpad and resources like Merge-o-Matic (closed source applications crafted by Canonical which might be used for Ubuntu) to build Gobuntu, isn’t that sort of defeating the objective?”
Shuttleworth states he visualizes Gobutu becoming much more distinct from Ubuntu because the undertaking progresses. “Because the team grows, we will be able to retain A much bigger delta concerning Ubuntu and Gobuntu. The aim is to deliver a cleaner and less difficult to maintain base for tasks like gNewSense,” a GNU/Linux distribution according to Ubuntu which contains only absolutely free software program.
