I have no problems with running non free software. But just found the Virtual Richard M. Stallman vrms package.

Non-free packages installed on rudi-ratlos

24 non-free packages, 1.7% of 1451 installed packages.
13 contrib packages, 0.9% of 1451 installed packages.

There are some non-frees i really don't need and if i delete them, i'll come a little bit closer to RMS idea of free software

@Murdock, thanks for that

@Gerd50: I have it a lot easier somehow (I have all Intel chips, perhaps that is diff). Just four packages, or is it not reading stuff right? (I have Adobe Flash...)

I see the vrms package as a joke. But as joke with a background worth think about.

In my testing system i use sgfxi and the result looks much better than in my sid.
