Greetings to all
I'm a ex-Linspire user (5.0.338) and use PCLinuxOS 2007 now ,you might want to check it out. Linspire annoyed me more times than I can remember with login problems, download problems, you name it. Then they CLOSED the forum, what up with that? the CNR gold members and Insiders don't seem very happy to me either, That should tell you something right there. "Dr.Jones" and a number of the others (revhouse1 and JDoyle come to mind, both Insiders) there were as helpful as much as possible but there is only so many hours in a day. CNR needs to be really updated as it's outdated and slow as billy hell. For me at ver5.0 the newest Firefox was 1.5.0.7 thru CNR, so I had to download the tarball for 2.0.0.3 (which I could then update thru Firefox to .0.5 and then 0.6) and do it that way to keep from "borking" CNR and possibly the whole system (according to the developers). How many other apps need a update is anyones guess. (Synaptic blows CNR out of the water on all accounts by me) 6.0 is out (I think) and you're only allowed to install it on one machine as compared to as many as I want now, plus whats the word on signing a EULA from M$ ? I used LOS for a little over a year, if you still like it and are not constantly having "issues" with it then I wish you the best of luck! (really)
