Linspire 5.0, The Linux Desktop For The Masses (LinuxElectrons)

LinuxElectrons reviews Linspire Five-0. "Linspire has chosen to eliminate some of the bloat that ships with most Distro's. Linspire doesn't have kmail, evolution, or even nine audio mixers. Most distributions ship with full versions of Gnome and KDE, plus some, that's a lot of overlap. Keven Carmony, CEO of Linspire, commented, "Linspire is Linspire because we touch pretty much every package in the OS". "We rarely just take a package and put it in our OS without polishing it up, adding features, fixing bugs, etc". Don't fret, you can still fire up CNR and download all the applications you want."
