"Linspire/Freespire is real Linux, and if you are hoping to convert someone loaning them a Linspire PC might be the way to do it. If you are a regular Linux user, you don't need it, but it makes a great set of training wheels."

Sorry to burst your bubble, but WHAT account is the only one active when a Linspire user accepts only the defaults for login/installation? Granted, there are warnings about security and how you should create another user, but what is the DEFAULT account? You breeze through all the "yeah, yeah, sure, sure" screens and you end up with one account only. ROOT. So, up to and including the 5.0 wonderweapon (V2) release, the default account is root. Freespire has Ubuntuized the first account created by entering that one in /etc/sudoers and not requiring a password for sudo actions, but Linspire is still root by default.
