Reviews: Linspire 5.0, the Linux Desktop for the Masses |
| LinuxElectrons has published a new review of Linspire 5.0: "The Linux Desktop has arrived for the average user and it's called Linspire 5.0. Linspire's feature set exceeds that of any currently shipping Windows desktop when combined with CNR. Despite some of the problems I ran into, this is the perfect upgrade for those Win 9X, NT, 2000 machines. I can even recommend Linspire to power users now that developer support has been added. It's just really nice to plug things in and have them work. ... Do I think Linspire has value? Yes I do. You are paying for that hand-holding. In fact, I've convinced my mom to try Linspire on her kitchen computer, she's tired of the viruses, scams and hack-attacks that go along with running Windows." The 3-page review starts here. |

| About Linspire |
| Linspire is a full-featured operating system (based on Debian GNU/Linux and Ubuntu) like Microsoft Windows XP or Apple Mac OS X. Linspire offers the power, stability and cost-savings of Linux with the ease of a Windows environment. In addition, Linspire features exclusive Click-N-Run (CNR) technology that makes installing software on Linspire fast and easy. Note: Linspire was acquired by Xandros Inc. in July 2008 and discontinued as a Linux distribution shortly afterwards. |
