Verily I say unto thee, that flyer spake thusly:
> I don't follow you here. Anything bad avbout abbout CNR?
Other than the fact that it promotes commercial software over FOSS?
I'd buy their games, but stuff the rest.
Of course, it's not *all* commercial, but why they bother offering e.g.
StarOffice when OpenOffice is virtually identical, I have no idea.
I notice their product versions are lagging quite a bit too. FlashPlayer
v7??? I've been using FlashPlayer *v9* for months!
At the end of the day apt/yum is easier, quicker, automated, and doesn't
require that I launch a browser ... nor that I have an "account" with
Linspire.
IMHO this is just the wrong approach for Linux software, as I said ...
other than with games, and even then, I'd be glad if the games situation
changed too.
