Linspire Questions
Jenda:
I completely disagree with the three of you.
GNU/Linux is a fully functional operating system, and it is much better than any flavour of Windows. If so, then why not make it accessible to everyone? One of the pleasant things about GNU/Linux is the community. The community that happily helps anyone set up their GNU/Linux machines and fix their problems themselves. The more people use GNU/Linux, the stronger the community. The result: more commercial activity, more Free activity, more, better software = better for all of us. The final, hypothetic result: Either the destruction of MS, or the increase in quality and/or decrease in price of proprietary SW = better for all of us, and all of them.
What is breaking the community? YOU! People who make people change their minds, thank you very much. PLEASE keep to your geeky selves and let US grow! Let us gain POWER! You will benefit.

I agree with Jenda.
I don't have a problem with Ubuntu but Linspire is shit as it's proprietary software in GLP clothing. I personally still don't think Linux is 100% newb friendly as you'll always have to edit some txt file like fstab or the bootloader configuration file at some stage (well at least with most of the distros I've used). Come on, prove me wrong by suggesting a pure point and click distro where the only use for the keyboard is entering passwords, using the Internet and wordprocessing?
hm_murdock:
I think they might have been joking.

Pathos:
Try Damn Small Linux its very cool and will only take 3hrs + a CD (10 min if you don't have a dialup modem)
