Windows 10: Linspire 7.0 FREE for download December 24th and 25th

As a majority of our forums Linux geeks are also Insiders, I thought it best to post this here:

Windows 10 calendar

My Windows 10 calendar shows Christmas Eve as December 23rd., Christmas Day as 24th., Boxing Day as 25th., New Year's Eve as 30th., New Year's Day as 31st. and "the day after New Year's Day" as 3rd. January.

Is this a joke?

 

Photos uploaded from camera are showing date created vs date taken? How to change this to date taken in Windows 10 Photo app?

Thanks. I will check. The pictures are being uploaded in the right order BUT the date/time is off. I took some pictures December 25th, 7am (date taken) but they are being uploaded and assigned December 24th, 12am (for example). I will check the time
zone on my computer but I know the date/time is correct, not sure about time zone. The pictures are "off" by hours, not years or months. This makes combining photos from multiple sources difficult. I checked my camera and everything is correct there.

 

Jeez their servers suck!

 

Did you look at Distrowatch ? They usually provide a torrent link which is mostly faster for download.

 

This is usually a "pay for" propriety distro Mike, I doubt they would have a torrent.

 

Yep they have linspire, but not version 7.
DistroWatch.com: Put the fun back into computing. Use Linux, BSD.

 

Mine is coming record slow as well, a bit faster though than yours:

 

Well they are a small company from North Carolina that sells a Linux distro, I guess we can't expect they have the money for a decent internet connection, like Canonical(Ubuntu) and Red Hat , where 90+% of the worlds super computers, and 80% the servers, run on their distro*really

 

Two hours and only a quarter of the way there*Sad
Does this company use a phone modem?

 

What doest it add to Ubuntu?

 

Their servers are probably getting hammered, Cliff.

 

I gave up and canceled the download*Smile
I just wanted to try it, but no OS with a 45 at kb/s download for 2GB is worth it to me.
I mean I pay for 25 Mb/s and get 27.5 Mb/s with fibre, so I shouldn't need to download at a 5-bit baud rate speeds*Wink

 

Thanks. I downloaded and I will play with it latter.

 

@Cliff S this is Merry Christmas to you, but of course anyone else wanting it can use the link, too: Download the Linspire 7.0 ISO from my OneDrive: Linspire 7.0




Note The Linux distro in question is not free. It is offered free now for two days. Based on that and my hostility towards piracy of any kind, I don't want to support it in any way and made link to expire in 24 hours. That guarantees that no one can download the uploaded ISO after the free offer has expired.
