NEW • Distribution Release: Freespire 5.0 |
| 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. Freespire's web site is very bare at the moment, but the first ISO image is available for download from here: freespire.iso (316MB). ISO images for SMP systems and AMD64 processors are also available. |
