I will master this freespire one year!I can not even figure out how to install(setup) a program on my PC after the download is on my desktop...duh just need help on my linus way...Jo

what type of package is it ? deb/rpm/tarball ?

most packages have a readme that explains the install process.

I will have to study the terms and definitions again.I am lost at this point however...jo

now i remember why i hate lindows/linspire/freespire.........CNR repositories are a pay service.

you can add the debian repo's and use apt-get instead though.

Main Page - Freespire

Just Install Ubuntu, kubuntu, or xubuntu.

PCLinuxOS is good. So many better alternatives to freespire/Lindows...

This is #2 thread about freespire this week WTH

I'm going to clear this up, if you want to use a windows based or lookalike linux operating system, go to kubuntuforums and read up on how to mask kubuntu as windows. It's just not.

Freespire is just a PITA and has major problems in the FSF/GPL world. A repository you have to pay for does not sound like a OS that is free right?

Distrowatch.com, it's in my signature, TuxDistro is a great way to find well seeded free legal torrents for these distros.


Please just get a ubuntu iso burnt, you will save youself from the hassle and pain of installing freespire.

Downloading Ubuntu now. The pay stuff, stick with Windows. for the free stuff, grab a 'Nix.

if you want linux to look like windows, just install p.h.l.a.k. and boot w/option desktop=sneaky
