As Karl says, the security support is excellent (keep in mind that it
relies on the work of the Ubuntu folks, of course).

As for installing it on a server, I still don't have the guts to do
that.  Time passes quickly (for me, at least) and not being able to
upgrade flawlessly between releases is a huge drawback.  TBH, I cannot
even consider it for a workstation at the place I work (FWIW -- a ship
management company, nothing related to IT, but we *need* workstations
*working* all of the time, so we run Debian on all machines).

Needless to say that many non-exciting packages are simply broken, and
that's going to be the case forever in Ubuntu, and consequently in
gNewSense (provided it continues to be based on Ubuntu).
