Ubuntu + Linspire Deal (was RE: [QCLUG] Linux Multiplied)

[DMichael Burns]

While I think that the concept of point and click install is a good idea for the user that has not heard of some of the other repositories out there, cannot figure out how to use apt-get, yum, (etc., etc.) or cannot figure out how to untar, configure, make and make install, I feel that CNR will probably flop because (IMHO) the majority of the Linux users ARE adept at using the options already in place.

If I spent this much time discussing every spam I get, my inbox would
be full in a week.  To change the subject, anyone else dislike the new
Ubuntu + Linspire deal?
