??? Is Linare Fedora Core 2 dressed as Linspire?


I tried out linare, it was just plain weird. It was just Fedora Core 2. Everything about it. Then they just dress it up like linspire for that Windows XP look. I don't get it. Is this a new distro or just an old one in disguise?

The title of your post makes little, if any sense. Linare is not Linspire, nor is it really Fedora Core 2, although it is based on Fedora Core 2. It has a lot of tweaks and modifications specific to Linare and has a very nice, polished look and feel as any distro worth using should. You can use some of the apps in Fedora Core 2's repository, but in doing so, you do risk breaking your installation as I did.
