How can I know if the kernel a distro uses is free?<br></blockquote></div><br>It depends on the distro, as fas as we know only the Free GNU/Linux distributions use a free one.<br>If the kernel haven't been deblob"ed" by the distribution developer, then it isn't completely free, the kernel hosted on <a href="http://kernel.org">kernel.org</a> contains blobs and non-free software inside.<br>
<br>The best at "cleaning" the Linux kernel is Alexandre, with the help of previous contributors. :)<br><br>In other words if there isn't an implementation to clean the kernel, then is not completely free. <br>
