| The Pioneer Explorer and Renegade offerings include the LinSpire CNR client
| preinstalled. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

| The current final release candidates all use KDE, which has a simpler
| interface for Windows users to transition to Pioneer. It is expected that
| Renegade will be released early next week with a Gnome interface to meet the
| community demand for a different interface. No decisions have been made as of
| yet to include the Gnome desktop as a Basic offering wrapped with support.

Linspire Needs to Drop OS, Focus Exclusively On CNR
,----[ Quote ]
| You have an opportunity here to keep to Linspire's original goal here, Larry.
| Make CNR the pivot factor that brings restricted codecs and software to Linux
| in an elective format through CNR. Purists will be appeased, since the distro
| itself is left alone by default and casual users will have the choice to
| expand on their Linux installation the way they see fit with CNR at the
| controls.

Revolutionizing CNR with OPIUM
,----[ Quote ]
| The results of our research were both surprising and exciting. We
| found that by treating the problem in an entirely different way to
| APT (the details of which I?ll leave to the paper, linked at the
| bottom of this letter) we were able to provide solutions to all
| of these problems. Perhaps even more valuably, we were able to
| quantify the benefits of fixing these problems and get a concrete
| idea of how often APT is wrong and what the cost is when it is.
