Linspire Announces Freespire
Posted by Michael Larabel on April 24, 2006
At the 2006 Desktop Linux Summit, Linspire has announced the creation of Freespire. Freespire serves as a community powered FREE Linux distribution that is funded and supported by Linspire. The Freespire distribution is Debian-based, 100% free yet allows the user option of installing some proprietary packages. The distribution itself is free but like Linspire, Freespire has the abilities to use the CNR (Click 'n Run) Warehouse for easily attaining software packages. While no Beta release of the Freespire distribution is available at the time of writing, its website is available. More information on this community project will likely come shortly.
