Linspire Announces Freespire Distribution

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the let's-muddy-the-waters-a-bit dept.

LinuxScribe writes "Is the world ready for another community Linux distro a là Fedora and openSUSE? We're about to find out, as Linspire used the Desktop Linux Summit to announce a community-driven version of Linspire, to be called Freespire. But here's the twist, Freespire will come in two flavors: a completely open source version and a version that includes all of the fully-licensed proprietary apps, drivers, and codecs in Linspire."

      Interesting question. Which would you rather have, a huge pile of manure in your yard or 500 little dog turds? The big pile is kind of easy to avoid, but there's no denying the fact that you have a huge pile of shit in front of your house that all the neighbours are talking about. The turds aren't fun to step around, but at least nobody can see them.

      Yet, they both stink. A that's how I feel about the latest Linux distro.
