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.

Kevin - Thanks for taking the time out to respond to some of the comments posted in this forum. I've never seen another company work as hard as Linspire at making sure the consumer is informed by participating in public forums.
I've installed Linspire and it's my main computer now. CNR is fantastic. I remember the days of having to install applications manually. What a drag! Now, I'm able to install AND uninstall with just one click. I also don't understand why some linux users become so irate and hostile with those who don't use the same distro as they use. I don't see Linspire users in any of these forums bashing RedHat, Novell, Mepis, etc. users.
Lastly, my sister was being crushed DAILY by viruses on her Windows 2000 machine. Yes, she was running an anti-virus program and using a firewall but it soon became too much for her. She now runs Linspire exclusively and leaves her computer on all the time without any trouble. She's virus free and more productive than she could have ever imagined. You can't argue with success like that.
