My current Linux installation goes back to 2003. It does everything I need
and never gives me a hard time. Luckily, I have not had any hardware issues.
Linspire has recently joined forced with Ubuntu, so their product should not
decsend below some of the most popular of distros. Perception and image are
an issue... Carmon(e)y's sidling with the Enderle Shill was among those
unforgettable mistakes.
