![]() They also seem to be paying attention to how things are normally done and trying to improve upon that instead of simply doing it a different way because it is easier. It gets me wound up when a distro is only commercial/proprietary, yet the zealot in me is at least placated when they also offer a truly free version. But I certainly welcome and applaud *spire stepping up to bat and creating a open source edition. ![]() Well, as everyone probably knows by now I do not care for linspire at all or really any commercial distro at all. I wonder if that includes the installer as well as other items like artwork?hmmm… But I do agree they do contribute some, but no reason to make it sound as if they are the contribution kings.:) Of course I guess the OSS edition could also be considered a contribution now. The stuff they contribute is often friviolous or redundant kind of stuff. What does that have to do with much of anything? They support the DCC alliance? It is a group of distros getting together sharing work to create a base distro. I have never seen a dollar amount stated for any of that support. Some of the others on there they contribute to ONLY because they want to improve it for themselves or they think they are paying for a advantage. I think the problem is they like to say “heavily involved” like they have 20 developers working on nothing but that.That is one of my complaints with any company – just plain being misleading and trying to put a halo over the horns.:) Linspire should stop tooting it’s own horn, making statements about how others are doing something they consider bad if they want to stop being looked at critically. No a BUNCH of those are linspire projects.
