In two weeks, Linspire Inc. will release Freespire, its community Linux distribution.

This new distribution isnt just another Linux distro.

It will represent the first Linux to include most of the legally licensed and available, third-party proprietary codices, drivers and software.

To say this is a bit controversial in Linux and free software circles is like saying the dog days of August are somewhat hot.

Freespire: Great Idea? Awful Idea?

Ta-da, an instant Linux thats compatible with far more hardware and applications.
