Linspire anounces Freespire

After 2 years in the making Linspire Inc. had announced (during the 4th Annual Desktop Linux Summit) that they are gonna start a community driven distro called Freespire (www.freespire.org).
At the moment there is nothing to download but they are planning on setting-up a similar structure as Novell (openSuSE) and RedHat (Fedora Core). But offcourse like Linspire the new Freespire will be based on Debian GNU/linux.

That link is broke. You've put a " ) " in the address.

This seems to be a trend with large companies. I've also noticed Oracle wants into the Linux OS business, I wouldn't be surprised if they pull this same sort of stunt as well.
