Linspire I admit that I'm a geek. I use Linux. I use Solaris. I use FreeBSD. At times, I use Windows. And without a doubt, I download and try almost every Linux distribution when they come out. Over the last few years, I've tried all of the RedHat/Fedora releases, 2 different Lindows/Linspire releases, Mandrake, Gentoo, Xandros, Suse, Ubuntu, and the list goes on.

Possible?

All well and good, but is this technically possible anyway? As he says himself, there is such a thing as dependency hell, so how on earth would Linspire be able to install their software properly on, say, Fedora or Debian, shortcuts and all?
