Say hello to yet another free Linux distro, this time from the Linspire folks. It will be called 'Freespire' & it will be freely downloadable, community driven distro similar to OpenSuse, Fedora,etc. The difference is that freespire will have a version which will include non open source, propietary technologies, such as codecs, etc. Which is a very good thing for consumers.

Exciting huh? Once it's out i'm gonna delete the ubuntu i'm running and try out freespire. Putting non open-source software in a linux has caused quite some controversy among linux users, but indeed it benefits people who are looking for a more 'user-friendly' linux to run. I'm so sick of apt-get *sigh*
Sadly, August 2006 is still the distant future. I hope i'll remember to check back at their website.

Freedom of choice .. good catch phrase Smile
