Linspire 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.

"As the same method," could be viewed as the following, in my opinion:

You purchase a Linux distro from Vendor-X.

Upon completion of the transaction, Vendor-X allows you to immediately download the ISO image of the Linux distro you are awaiting receipt (assuming a retail boxed option).

Since the purchase of the boxed, retail version provides you the additional benefits of 'electronic' distribution, you basically get a two-for-one, here.

Also, whether or not you utilize the digital d/l option of the ISO image is not the issue. It's available as part of the purchase.

And by making it part of the purchase, it could be said that 'electronic delivery' is fullfilling the obligation of Vendor-X.

That's how I see it, anyway.
