Customer Reviews of Linspire Five.0 Oem Edition

Great distro for AOL types
This is probably one of the worst distros available based on the Linux OS kernel. Many of the features, icons, etc. are very 'kid-like' and over-simplified. Not to mention that this distribution has some major issues with graphic drivers. After installation of this software, there is persistent emphasis to join the 'Click-N-Run' community, which is full of a lot of applications which are largely useless. Most of the productive software apps available for Linux are available totally for free on the internet. If you're nothing more than a glorified AOL user, and want something overly simplistic and kid-like, than Linspire might be a great choice. Maybe it's just me but I have a tough time with a company which claims that their software is a perfect alternative to Windows, but absolutely does not support any 'dual-boot' scenarios. Many users of Linux are forced to use both, due to some software which has no Linux functionality whatsoever. Pitching a product as a great alternative and then offering no support is a contradiction. For a more serious user, try SuSE 10.0. It's installation is very well done, their dual-boot works very well, and the documentation provided is excellent. You do not need to buy this product which gives you almost zero support and NO documentation. What exactly are you paying for anyway with Linspire?

not the best version of Linux
Linspire 5.0 is a moderately decent OS. There are some problems with sound that needs to be fixed (mainly when you use Lsongs) It seems a lot of people have had these issues. It is easy to install and CNR makes it easy to find applications. I suggest trying Suse 10.0. It has fewer bugs, just a little more time consuming to install to hard drive. you can buy the retail version with manual and tech support for new users, or download it for free at opensuse.org. I would rank Suse 10.0 over Linspire or Windows

Linspire OS
I installed this OS and it booted up very nicely and found my stuff. I am very pleased with how Linspire works...Microsoft's "facts" do not mesh very well with my direct experience. <
> The gui is very pleasing to the eye and Linspire is as easy as pie to use. <
> Linspire also has Click And Run,which makes installing and using software a piece of cake. <
> On the downside,it does boot up rather slowly and sometimes the browser will crash after showing a video.However,I'm confident that these minor problems will be ironed out by the powers that be. <
> I was going to do a Windows/Linspire duel boot,but after one week of using this OS,I decided that it does everything i want so why do I need Windows? <
> Using Linspire,I also don't have to worry about the latest virus or spyware and no more never-ending updates to fix yet another hole found in MS's swiss-cheese armor. <
>So I'm a happy camper now.
