Re: Linspire -> Devian ?

[Carl Fink <carlf@fink.to>]

Agreeing with Sam Watkins, go ahead and install the distro you
actually *want* on the box rather than trying to upgrade.  Since
there's no data on there yet, no loss, right?

Exception:  if Linspire has special hardware-specific modules that
aren't in Ubuntu or Knoppix or Mepis or whatever.

Note:  back up /etc at the very least, so you have a known set of
good settings in case whichever installer you use doesn't detect the
hardware perfectly.
