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

Installed!
Last night when I tried I had forgotten how to eject the install media during the initial restart*Redface
I tried a few times and botched things up.
Then I remembered this morning it's the "Turn off" button and not the "Shut down" button you need to use*Smile
Thanks again @Kari for the ISO, and Santa-days*Biggrin

 

Ok - I have to ask why anybody would pay for such a distro - what does it offer over normal free Linux distros other than perhaps being preconfigured?

 

So the people that maintain it can work on it and eat & pay the rent. And not do it as a hobby, so down the line they have to give it up because of real-life issues?

I downloaded it last night, Cliff. I think it took awhile, but since I was busy making Cranberry Apple Bread, I didn't notice how long it took. I have it safely on my hard drive, waiting to be installed on an older computer in the closet.

 

For me the real question, given that i would be happy to pay, is what does it offer more than Ubuntu or Mint this is not clear to me. gave it a quick try and it seems a xfce based distro.
Reading the blog they make some confusion between Free software and Open Source software, they are two different concepts.
Maybe thinks will be more clear when they will officially release it, possibly with a license.
For now it seems to me that Linux Mint or Ubuntu are better, still i may be overlooking something.
If they are working on it to make it better they obviously have any right to ask for a fee not seeing anything strange
nor this is in any way against any Free/Open source licence.

 

The link is still operating.

 

The "real one"? My OneDrive link expired on Monday evening.

 

Just a "pondering" of mine:
When will Linux get this command?: sudo apt-get install windows*Tongue Out
