Linare?

I have a couple of Q's about Linare Linux, Is it like Linspire Xandros or Lycoris?
Does it have all media Playback? (AVI, Quicktime, Real, ect.)
Where do you get the software from, say mplayer or a game for it?
Does it install easily?
Laptop Compatible?

More Q's to come about it as I go along.

Linare Linux has all media playback .It comes with mplayer, realplayer etc. Its based on rpm and is laptop compatible.
You can download Linare linux from any one of the following sites:

I travel alot, so when I'm on the move, I watch movies, and listen to MP3's and Cd's, so its important for me to have a Linux distro that is easy to install and maintain, as well as have all the features that I need when on the move.

Give Linare a try; you'll like it. At least with Linare, I don't get that stupid and annoying "You passed an undefined mode number. Press return to see video modes available. Press space bar to continue" message at boot-up like I do when using MEPIS. Linare detects my video correctly and does not give me that annoying message.
