Topic: Anyone use or ever try Linsipre?

Previously known as Lindows...

Thoughts? I am thinking of setting a box up with it.  I don't want to waste my time if its no-diff than any other *nux.

Linspire is a lot "easier" for *nix noobs. I don't like it, but that's because I'm a slackware guy.

Why I use FreeBSD

If I were going to try Linux today, I would go with Ubuntu.

It's Debian based, so you're not wasting your time learning a system that's been crippled for newbies.

I've heard about it but I never really used it or looked into it.

Re: Anyone use or ever try Linsipre?

Thanks for the feedback.  I have dabbled with Linux and FreeBSD in the past, but I would say I am 2 steps ahead of newb.  I want to setup a test server at home that closely matches what my host uses.  I am looking for something easy to setup and maintain with Apache, MySQL, & PHP on it.  Currently at home, I have a win2k server setup with Apache, MySQL, and PHP installed on, which is not all that common out there.

I think I will give Ubuntu a try....

thanks again
