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 explained the accounts I had created and subsequently you deleted! I do not think I 'trolled' at all, other forum memebrs made smart remarks so I made them back. Seems to me there is a double standard with some being asked to remove their post and others simply having their account deleted! So why was my (phreak) account deleted? Why was the threads locked? Numerous other forum members agreed, even some of your long time members agreed that I did not violate community standards. Even if I had been deleted before am I not allowed to learn a lesson and try to come back and follow community standards?
So has linspire ALWAYS provided a source cd just for the asking? How many source cds have you'll distributed with each release? So support has NEVER before responded to a request for a source cd by stating that they only make the source available via the ftp site? So does linspire include the written offer int he box sets and have they always done this?
I never said you had to provide the source cd to every user regardless of whether they want it or not. I know the GPL makes a point that no one is forced to have the source code. I suggested on the thread that you deleted that a offer at checkout or at least the written offer!
I find it strange that I read on the linspire site how you provide the source to the user by the SAME METHOD that they received the program but yet when i click on the link and request it i receive no reponse. The Kevin Carmony says you have to go to another location and use a different method to request it. So I do that and am told that you do not provide a source cd. So it seems to me like people request and then you tell them it isnt available and you hope they go away and you dont have to provide it, only if they push do you provide it.
gotta go........ will be around
btw-you can unblock that range I have given you my public word that i will NEVER go to the linspire site again, and if i wanted to that block would not stop me... JT
