Powers users will feel constrained

Constrained how? It's DEBIAN. Underneath some Linspire-isms, it's plain old Sarge. There's nothing AT ALL constraining about Linspire except for the elitist attitude of its detractors.

Excuse me, but EVERY mention of apt-get in the Lindows forums is accompanied with a "you WILL break your system" caveat. GTK-based items are generally safe, but ANY kde-related item pulls a new libc6 and other libs that do NOT mix with Lindows well. The "Linspireisms" go to the core of the beast.

You probably won't break your system. What you might break is CNR itself, which manages its own stuff.
