We have a gNewSense Documentation[1] (wiki) for users to get acquainted 
with gNewSense. For gNewSense installation help, you my take a look at 
this page[2], you will definitely jostle with hard-disk partitioning 
which might be a night-mare for new-users, you may want to take a look 
at this page[3] to get a taste of GNU/Linux hard-disk partitioning.

Period.

The present stable version of gNewSense is pretty old but the fact 
remains true that it ensures that all the programs that can be installed 
in the distribution are free as in freedom.

The present stable version of gNewSense is based on ubuntu "hardy". 
Therefore, it should run application that work in ubuntu provided that 
the application is free as freedom.

FYI, There are "free as in freedom" distros that are wholly meant for 
video & audio production. You may be interested to test drive those 
distros. For more info, go here:
