IMPORTANT NOTICE

The freespire project is changing its name, as it is creating confusion and misunderstanding. The new name is under discussion and you can have your input on the subject here. (A temporary codename of 'squiggle' has been assigned to the project.)

"freespire" was the term I gave to a private project I had been working on. The project was comprised of various open source components, taken from the freely available source repository for the Linspire operating system. Somehow my project got submitted to distrowatch.com as a bona-fide Linux distribution. I can only assume whoever did this had good intentions, unfortunately it was done without my consent.

Subsequent widespread distribution of this project has led to much misunderstanding, based largely on the name. So to make it clear:
This project is not a free version of the Linspire operating system and is not made by Linspire Inc..

Some examples of the problems caused by the term 'freespire':

   1. It confused some into thinking that if you just take out the proprietary licensed pieces of Linspire, you still have Linspire. This impression is false because the total Linspire experience relies on proprietary components, such as mp3, Java, Flash, Quick Time, Windows Media, Real, fonts, etc...
   2. I worried that many people would try 'freespire' and use this to judge the Linspire product. I have already read posts on the net that go something like this, "I have never tried Linspire because I didn't want to pay, so I was excited to finally try it when I saw Freespire. I downloaded it, and I wasn't impressed. I don't see what all the big deal is around Linspire. I didn't see anything very special there."
   3. I had heard from Linspire that their support department was getting calls and emails from users who thought Freespire was their product. As much as I tried to put disclaimers in to the contrary, some still were confused to this point. I'd even seen reviews for my project that said Linspire was the creator.

Linspire has expressed complete support to me with the project itself, as long as it didn't infringe on any 3rd-party licensing. But the name has caused problems for both parties so I decided to change it.

To help alleviate any confusion, I contacted Linspire and they made an extremely generous offer to us all. They want everyone who has been following my project to experience "the real" Linspire, FOR FREE!!! For a limited time, they are making available a coupon code called "FREESPIRE" that will give you a free digital copy of Linspire! Please visit http://linspire.com/freespire for details.

For those of you that are still interested in my project please visit the LinspireNetwork (after getting your FREE copy of Linspire I hope!)

Many thanks for you time, and don't forget to enjoy Linux

You have selected to download a copy of Linspire. If you are not installing Linspire on a "Linspire Certified" computer system, you could experience compatibility issues with certain peripherals or components. (Linspire Certified Computers come pre-installed, configured and tested with Linspire.)

știți care-i porcăria cu Linspire? După ce-l instalezi, pentru a descărca și instala soft free de pe situl lor, plătești nu știu câți $$$.

The Linspire 5.0 livecd does log one in as root to a KDE 3.3.2 desktop by way of an attractive splash screen. Given that this distro was released in March, one can overlook the "antiquated" KDE version. Also given the age, it uses a 2.6.10 kernel. GCC is not included, but this distro does have a large warehouse of binary applications available for a price or one can set up a Debian source, so I've heard. So, no points given or taken for these issues.

@Gobi pozele pe care le-ai postat arata doar un kde cosmetizat, mie nu-mi spun nimic despre distributie
