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.

"What pisses me off more is that this is the work of a Linsider those of us that paid hundreds of dollars in entry and membership dues to test the latest and greatest and help guide the path of Linspire. "

what pisses me off is that people would actually PAY to beta test....now THAT is funny, glad he got something out of it! ;)
