Is Lemote the most favourite system of gNS?

Thank you, but when I try to install the linux-header
(http://www.fscorsica.org/gnewsense/linux-headers-2.6.37-libre-planet_2.6.37-libre-planet-10.00.Custom_i386.deb)
I got an error message that said: "Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: 
libc6"

But there's no newer libc6 in repository (v 2.7-10ubuntu8).

Can you add the needed version to the repository and/or the 
libre-kernel-2.6.37 LKOS for gNewSense, both headers and image?

Thanks

Wesley
