Star Review: Freespire 5.0 - Linspire Freed
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Tue 23rd Aug 2005 10:51 UTC
Linspire It seems that a free Linspire clone has hit the ftp mirrors. DistroWatch reports: "Freespire is a new Linux distribution, a free edition of Linspire with all proprietary components and trademarks removed. The distribution comes with a free repository of over 1,500 packages available via apt-get and Synaptic. This initial release functions as a live CD only and serves as a proof of concept. It certainly looks like an interesting idea: combining the benefits of Linspire's excellent usability and hardware auto-configuration with a free repository of Debian packages." Review.

There also used to be a project called "Freedows OS" which aimed at creating a free Windows-compatible OS: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedows_OS
