I can't wait for CNR to be ported to other distros! It shouldn't be bad provided it doesn't lock you to Linspire's respositories to get the software itself.

I know people say CNR is just a pretty front-end to apt-get, which is kind of true, but I think it makes a world of difference to an end user in terms of getting comfortable with Linux (it's nicer to see reviews/screenshots of what you're downloading as opposed to searching for sometimes esoteric file names and checkmarking them).
