I use proprietary software... Isn't Firefox proprietary?
Guys, if you want a totally free operating system the one you want is gNewSense (http://www.gnewsense.org/). It is all free software (all free (libre) software is open-source software but not all open-source software is free software). gNewSense is based off ubuntu but has all the proprietary software stripped out.
Deadbot brings up an important point... you must have the choice to install it or not; i.e. the system itself should never depend on closed source. You might need closed source to do X or Y, but it should be an add on feature, not an essential aspect of the OS.

Ubuntu by default includes proprietary software. The linux kernel you get includes proprietary blobs they put in there to make certain pieces of hardware work.
Well, if Ubuntu needs "Standard" apps like itunes and Photoshop to push it out into the mainstream, then I'm all for it .
i am still a bit surprised that apple hasn't released a *nix version of itunes.
The did, it's called OSX
so end my sad attempt at being funny
