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.

I bet with a little tender love 'n care, Synaptic could be user friendly enough to be a package manager that the average user can weild.

Even if these commercial distros don't commit code back into their parent distro (Linspire has roots in Debian doesn't it?) the other distros can still follow by their example.
