[Gnewsense-dev] GNU project preference?

[Simon Josefsson]

Some of the default tools in gNewSense are non-GNU projects, even though
a GNU-project exists that implements the same tool.  Wouldn't it be nice
if gNewSense preferred the GNU tools when possible?

For example:

* /usr/bin/telnet - this is NetKit but GNU InetUtils exists
* /usr/bin/ftp - this is NetKit but GNU InetUtils exists
* /bin/ping - this is NetKit but GNU InetUtils exists
* /bin/sh - this is dash but GNU Bash exists

I'm sure there are other examples, but these are the ones I could
identify easily.

This could make gNewSense become more like a "GNU OS".
