I decided to write this review to provide a quick inside to the new Linspire 5.0 released on March 15th, 2005. The review will determine the use of Linspire 5.0 in a SOHO (Small Office Home Office) Environment. The download was free for me since I'm a current CNR subscriber. UPDATE: Another Linspire review, and the Linspire 5.0 Live CD is now available for free download.

I agree with you there, something like that would be nice. They did release a LiveCD for trial purpose today, so a start in the right direction. They also have in the past open up Linspire for free download. CNR will be a pay service however, but your still free to use apt-get. Just be careful what you install with apt-get or read up on pinning to safeguard your installation. This can also be an issue with Xandros, so always install from good sources.
