Linspire Five-0 First Look

Posted by Hemos on 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).

  1. Create partition ahead of time? by Drencrom · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Like in Linspire 4.0, you have to prep a partition ahead of time or take over the entire disk at install

    Is it only me or this should not happen in a new distro installer?
    More so considering it is oriented to windows users.
