Linspire keeps promising "very soon" but we have a string of broken promises. They promise CNR for Linspire, Freespire, then Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, openSuse. I'm dying to get this.

Why? What will it offer that you can't find in your distro's repositories?


I am no salesperson here, but CNR makes Linspire the easiest Linux on earth -just as they say. The software packages are organized. Each package comes with graphical explanation of what the package does, and invisibly takes care of all the dependencies when downloaded, etc. It's easier than working with an .exe file in Windoze. This is real competition to Windoze (at least in the home market).

Synaptic is good if you already know what you want. Not bad at all.
YaST stinks when it comes to software download. Suse has a way to go here.

CNR will eventually support other distributions like ubuntu and debian.
I run debian, but will switch to Linspire once they get CNR up. They are very slow at Linspire, and I personally think their customer service stinks, and their software people are slow. They've lost money, so it's perhaps personnel cutbacks?

Useless. The pictures/cnr software are there, but the Linspire software lacks the installer. That is what we are all waiting for.
