Linspire switches to Ubuntu

Linspire and Canonical have sent out a press release announcing a "technology partnership" between the two. The core of the deal appears to be that Linspire will base future versions of its distribution products on Ubuntu Linux rather than Debian. "Linspire will continue combining proprietary drivers, codecs and applications with open source software by default in their operating systems. This approach, unique among Linux distributions, offers out-of-the-box support for a broader range of software, hardware and multimedia file types than the Debian or Ubuntu baseline alone."
