Intentionally or not, Linspire may be trying to become the "Education Linux" distribution. The desktop Linux software maker, formerly known as Lindows, Thursday launched a new, low-cost licensing program for schools who wish to install a Linux desktop operating system as an alternative to the more expensive Microsoft Windows operating system.

I don't care who you are, Linspire is not about "learning linux". Linspire is about the most windows like, simple distro on the plannet (along with Xandros)
If they wanted kids to "learn linux" they would teach them on LFS or Gentoo, not Linspire.
IMO, Linspire would not be a good choice anyway, Xandros would be much better only because it dosen't instill the bad security habits of Windows like Linspire does. (linspire.. administrator by default)
