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。

Karl Goetz has announced the release of gNewSense 2.2, an Ubuntu-based, 100% free GNU/Linux distribution as defined by the Free Software Foundation (FSF): "ThegNewSense project is pleased to announce version 2.2 of its 100% FSFFree GNU/Linux distribution.
