The End of the Linspire Distribution

August 12th, 2008 | Category: OS

Xandros has announced the end of Linspire. The company says that it had too many for-pay distributions running around in the company portfolio, so one was bound to be cut. Linspire didn’t compose it. “Xandros purchased Linspire, the company, earlier that summer. that week, the company announced that it was going to revamp community distribution Freespire,

basing its next version on Debian instead of Ubuntu, and using it as a precursor for Xandros Desktop Professional, in much the same way Red Hat uses Fedora and SUSE uses openSUSE. But the company didn’t need multiple for-pay desktop distributions, so Linspire is getting the boot.”
