hitest Posted April 23, 2005 Report Share Posted April 23, 2005 http://www.digg.com/first click on "BUY LINSPIRE", apply coupon code "linspire4RA", then ENJOY! Linspire 5.0 is amazing!Need to create an account but hey you have fifty gmail invites use one for this.M That's good news that they're offering Linspire or free. Linspire has a good reputation for good hardware detection, ease of installation. This would be a good choice for a first install of Linux.One thing to be aware of though. Linspire offers software upgrades, updates from their "click and run" warehouse. There is a fee for downloading the software from the warehouse. You can sign up for this via a subscription.I'm wondering if the coupon code gives you a free pass to the software library?Thanks for the information.Other very good first choices for a Linux install would be Mandriva, Fedora, SuSe.

How do you like it so far.? You could post a small review of Lycoris if you feel like it in the Linux forums or here so we can learn something about it.Very cool, thanks for the message.hitest Edited May 1, 2005 by hitest Quote Link to post Share on other sites
