Linspire goes Freespire
By Angsuman Chakraborty, Gaea News NetworkWednesday, August 24, 2005
Freespire is a new free Linux distribution from Linspire. It is Linspire with all proprietary components and trademarks removed. The distribution has a free repository of over 1,500 packages, available via apt-get and Synaptic.
Initial release of Freespire functions as live CD only and serves as a proof of concept. Linspire is known for excellent usability and hardware auto-configuration. Combine that with a free repository of Debian packages and the results are truly inspiring.
ISO image is available for download from here: freespire.iso (316MB). ISO images for SMP systems and AMD64 processors are also available. The site is overloaded when I tried downloading.
