yeah their gnome desktop is aimed to be pretty much a stock gnome except for the theme. they recently switched the default browser to Epiphany for that reason. Firefox is still installed by default, i think, but not the default. they also have jre and all the "bad" gstreamer plugins installed by default too. so it's not really a completely free distro, but i install all of that stuff anyways it's not a big deal for me.
unfortunately my install didn't go well. i had to run the installer with the "noprobe" option or else it locked up, and the second disc is borked.
