Star Review: Freespire 1.0
Linked by Nathan J. Hill on Tue 24th Oct 2006 10:43 UTC
Linspire In the midst of the busy semester here at school, my fiancee's laptop, running Windows XP SP2, picked up some friends - adware, trojans, etc. It was a pretty nasty sight. I worked on it for at least two hours every couple of days, wiping it clean, doing my best to lock it down, and so on. Avast! and Ad-Aware had their limits it seemed, for only a day or so after I cleaned it, pop-ups and weird stuff would show up again. She was getting sick of it. I was getting sick of cleaning it, so I suggested, offhand, installing a different operating system that is a bit more impervious to those nasties. To my surprise, she agreed.

It's a problem with the danish XkbLayout as well. And in the console, too. I guess זרהצו are tricky ;)

allow me to be so bold as to say, then you do not know how to configure it correctly. i can only say, in slackware both danish and swedish works, as does it in gentoo, and arch. furthermore it also works in ubuntu

I know it usually works with gentoo (well not on the install-cd), but not all the time. It tends to break during major updates. The switch from 6.8 to 7.0 broke quite a few thing.

And the install-cd doesn't cannot do danish characters right (in the console (same problem on fedora)).
