Linspire Five-0 First Look

Posted by Hemos on Monday February 14, 2005 @12:59AM from the making-it-eas(ier)-to-use dept.

Eugenia writes "OSNews posted an exclusive first look for the upcoming Linspire 5.0: 'Linspire Five-0 is definitely a good base from which to build. The lack of well rounded applications when compared to other OSes in its class leave me wanting more, however, a slick look, some powerful Linspire specific apps, and a non-crippled undercarriage remain appealing' says the author." The bigger question will be how it stacks up against other commericial offerings in the long run. (ITMJ is also owned by OSTG).

You are given the option to set up a new user when installing and on first boot and are even explained why you should do so. It has been this way since vesion 4.5. Can we please stop the "run as root" myth about Linspire.
