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.

Personally, I think Linspire produced a product that caters better to the consumer world, but fits awkwardly in the open source world, but that doesn't prevent it from being a great product to introduce novice users to linux.
So open source people, please note that other people have to make a living somehow and providing people with convenience is a perfectly legitimate way to earn money.
