I bought a machine with Linspire preloaded on it today. Nice machien,
and cheaper than I could build it. A bit short on RAM, and the CD is
a reader only (no CD writer or DVD). But great value for the $299.
Reading through the manual that comes with it, I find no information
as to how to use the preloaded software, but quite a bit of
nformation relative to wiping it and installing various flabors of M$
OS'es.
Here's my concern. It appears that the promary intent of this is not
to encourage the new users that might buy this amchine to learn to
use Linux, but instead a way to sell them a machine W/O the M% tax,
and encourage them to load a pirated copy of a M$ OS on it.
This really seems like a bad light to cast the Linux comunity in,
IMHO.
What are otheres prespective on this?
