<p id="intro">These distros are ready-to-use full systems whose developers (追記ここまで) have (追記) made (追記ここまで)
a (削除) firm policy (削除ここまで) commitment to (削除) only include (削除ここまで) (追記) follow the
<a href="/distros/free-system-distribution-guidelines.html">Free System Distribution Guidelines</a>. This means they will
include, (追記ここまで) and (削除) only propose (削除ここまで) (追記) propose, exclusively (追記ここまで) free software. They (追記) will (追記ここまで) reject (削除) non-free (削除ここまで)
(追記) nonfree (追記ここまで) applications, (削除) non-free (削除ここまで) (追記) nonfree (追記ここまで) programming platforms, (削除) non-free (削除ここまで) (追記) nonfree (追記ここまで) drivers, (削除) or
non-free (削除ここまで)
(追記) nonfree (追記ここまで) firmware (削除) “blobs”. If by mistake they do (削除ここまで) (追記) “blobs,” nonfree games, and any other
nonfree software, as well as nonfree manuals or documentation.</p>
<p>If one of these distros ever does (追記ここまで) include
(削除) any, they remove (削除ここまで) (追記) or propose anything nonfree,
that must have happened by mistake, and the developers are committed to
removing (追記ここまで) it. If you (削除) have found such non-free (削除ここまで) (追記) find nonfree (追記ここまで) software or documentation in one of
these distributions, you can
<a href="/help/gnu-bucks.html">report the (削除) issue (削除ここまで) (追記) problem, (追記ここまで) and earn GNU
(削除) Bucks</a>.</p>
<p>Other distributions are making efforts to move toward a completely
free system. We thank them (削除ここまで) (追記) Bucks</a>,
while we inform the developers so they can fix the problem.</p>
<p>Fixing freedom bugs is an ethical requirement (追記ここまで) for (削除) their ongoing work to achieve (削除ここまで) (追記) listing a distro
here; therefore, we list only distros with a development team (追記ここまで) that (削除) goal, (削除ここまで) (追記) has
told us it will remove any nonfree software that might be found in
them. Usually the team consists of volunteers, (追記ここまで) and (削除) hope (削除ここまで) (追記) they don't make
legally binding commitments (追記ここまで) to (追記) users; but if we find out a distro is
not properly maintained, we will de-list it.</p>
<p>We hope the other existing GNU/Linux distributions will become
entirely free software so that we can (追記ここまで) list them (削除) here some day.</p>
<p><strong>All (削除ここまで) (追記) here. If you wish to
improve the state (追記ここまで) of (追記) free distros, helping to develop an existing free
distro contributes more than starting a new one.</p>
<p>Please note that not all hardware works in the free world; each
distro's site should say which hardware it supports. We suggest that,
after reading (追記ここまで) the (追記) short descriptions below, you consult these sites as
well as other available information, to judge which distro is most
convenient for you.</p>

distributions are meant for devices with limited resources, like a
wireless router for example. A free small system distribution is not
self-hosting, but it must be developable and buildable on top of one of
the free complete systems listed above, perhaps with the aid of free
tools distributed alongside the small system distribution itself.</p>

Feel free to download or mirror the distributions from there,
preferably using rsync. Free distribution maintainers can request a
mirror for their project by mailing the

<p>Do you know about a distribution that you expected to find on our
list, but didn't? First, check our page
about <a href="/distros/common-distros.html">why we don't endorse some
common distributions</a>. That page explains the reasons why several
well-known distributions don't
meet <a href="/distros/free-system-distribution-guidelines.html">our
guidelines</a>. If the distribution isn't listed there either, and
you think it qualifies for a listing under our guidelines, then please
let the distribution's maintainers know about this page and encourage
them to get in touch—we'd like to hear from them.</p>
<p>If you maintain a distribution that follows the <a
href="/distros/free-system-distribution-guidelines.html">Free System
Distribution Guidelines</a> and would like to be listed here, please
write to (削除) us
at (削除ここまで) <a href="mailto:webmasters@gnu.org"><webmasters@gnu.org></a> with
an introduction and a link to the project Web site. When you do,
we'll explain more about our evaluation process to you, and get
