Hello Martin - 

TA>>> I would apprciate learning how to legally obtain and
TA>>> install linux software for linspire Five-0 please. 

CS>> Coming your way this evening. Be prepared to do some file
CS>> editing and using Konsole. (Terminal) 

CS>> I just finished setting up my copy of Linspire this
CS>> afternoon. I can now download software just as easily as
CS>> with any other debian distro. What's nice is that it gets
CS>> installed automatically and even appears on the menu bar. 

MA> I haven't got Linspire but i do have an inquiring mind.
MA> This of course is a bonus if you enjoy using Linux. Could i
MA> prevail upon you to also send me the information please. 

I'm guessing that you already know this but it might be worth
pointing out to non-programmers that want to _use_ the Linspire
install longer than the time it takes to locate another
'distro' to install that using apt-get might trash the OS? 

A quote from one source: 

"You are NOT required to subscribe to CNR. You can use apt-get
with Debian repositories if you desire, but you can't use both
CNR and apt-get, as using apt-get will eventually break CNR and
could hose your system. Using apt-get will also eventually turn
your Linspire system more into a pure Debian system than
Linspire OS." 

It was also pointed out that CNR automatically points the user
to the proper binaries for their _version_ of the Linspire OS
so that if Linspire goes to v6 at some point those with the
FREE v5 could continue to add software by using CNR rather than
apt-get from Debian's repositories.
