Three weeks ahead of schedule, version 1.0 of Freespire, the no-cost community version of Linspire, is now available from the project's website. You can download a completely open source version, or a version that includes various proprietary codecs and drivers for an improved out-the-box experience. Screenshots.

Yes, that is a sore point and one that will hopefully be fixed soon. I am thinking about creating a package or possibly a repo for some ported packages so anyone who wants them can update, hopefully without breakage.
I have updated my OSS edition of freespire to 3.5.0 and that is about as new as I can get without ripping out important parts. As stated, it isn't perfect or anywhere near it but it is a good step down the proper path IMO.

It seems to be made from software not really on the same time line :
- linux 2.6.15 -> october 2005
- KDE 3.3.2 -> december 2004
- Firefox 1.5.0.4 (renamed Web Browser) -> april / may 2006.
Very strange mixing...
