linspire 4.5 shows up as $59.95 for me

EDIT: nmd, that was the developer's edition. I had no idea what this was but since it was free I dl'd it. Linux os...okay whatever, it's free.

Ya, you have to pick the version that's $49.95. Worked for me 🙂

I had it running on a 633 celeron, ran just fine. I didn't like it all that much, but it is free. changed to suse linux 8.2 pro, much better for me.🙂

thanks

 

[mattg1981]

I didnt care too much for linspire .. I like Mandrake the best but Suse and Fedora are also good

 

[INXSible]

Can I post a link to DL an ISO file of this OS?
Is it allowed?

I've got it running on my HP Omnibook 3100, a 233mhz laptop w/ 96mb of RAM. It's a little sluggish but it works - even recognized my Netgear wireless card.

Well every company has to make $ - some make it on Support, some on Apps, etc. Linspire is probably making nothing on sale of OS, but make it on subscriptions to their warehouse of software apps. They present a very easy-to-use desktop Linux where your hardware is recognized (usually) & everything works, clickety-click. No tarballs, no tweakin the kernel, etc. Just pick your program & click - its installed and working.

I would think that would violate their agreement, since technically we are paying 49.95 for this. We just used a coupon to get it to 0.00.

Oh and there are using some type of login for the ftp that is unique for each user also.

 

[VirtualLarry]

Interesting, but after I follow the directions given, I'm redirected back to the first page that I encounter, asking for my e-mail address. Am I required to provide that?

 

[TalonOP]

Nice catch! I am currently downloading it. Looking forward to dual booting my machine!

You can install SuSE for free. Just get the netboot ISO off their site and start installing. Sure, you don't get some things that come on the disc because they aren't free but what you do get is the equivalent of any other free distribution.

Did you guys add a credit card and all that?

It *is* Lindows. They changed the name because they got sued by MS.

 

[Keitero]

Does it support 802.11G cards? If it does, I might download it and extract it for my own use (I care not really for Linspire, but if they have support, then its all good)

Suse is free.. 😕
and Linsipire should be also, at lease some version of it...

 

[Thump553]

What an annoying storefront that is. I gave up after five minutes-it wasn't worth it inputting all that personal and financial info, even for a free OS.

 

[InverseOfNeo]

Hmmm, wont boot off CD. Do I need to do something differently than if i were booting off a Windows CD?
