desktoplinux.com — Linspire announced today that it plans to expand its CNR ("Click 'N Run") digital download and software management service to support multiple desktop Linux distributions beyond Linspire and Freespire, initially adding Debian, Fedora, OpenSUSE, and Ubuntu, using both .deb and .rpm packages. And, the standard CNR service will remain free.

"""avram2002, I'm sure you feel sooo 1337 in your text mode terminal like Neo from the Matrix... ....Linux elitists want to kill windows, the man, and the EEEEVIL BILLY GATES, yet they ATTEMPT TO DESTROY ANY EFFORT TO DO SO!"""I don't think he deserved this tirade from you. Firstly, he made no attempt to differentiate between GUI and console (the most common way to manage packages with yast is the graphical clients, not console use) and he didn't say there was anything wrong with GUI clients.Secondly, just because *YOU* have nothing better to do with your computer than sit wanking like a chimp over Britney Spears websites and getting Pixar trailers off iTunes, does not mean that using the console is "omg like neo off the matrix I think I'm so 1337". This will AMAZE you, but there are people in this world who have jobs and/or use their computer for something more practical than mocking up celebrity porn in photoshop after a hard day's shelf-stacking."""Linux elitists want to kill windows, the man, and the EEEEVIL BILLY GATES, yet they ATTEMPT TO DESTROY ANY EFFORT TO DO SO!"""WTF gives you the right to make pronouncements about what Linux users are or what they want. I guarantee you everyone else in the world, whether they use windows, Linux, Mac, BSD or Plan9 is eight times smarter than you, so the smart thing to do would be to keep your opinions on them to yourself.Of course, I said the smart thing to do, so carry on.Oh, and keep using Microsoft Windows, people like you are what they get paid to tolerate, the poor sods.

A Band-Aid® to cover up the real problem --- the lack of a standard install system.

i have linspire (like many of you here) and its just like windows like user interface wise but its just like 1000% better if you take the time and find its true potential. only problem i have is not being able to play games, but that will be fixed. linux is the future simply cause vista sux and mac is too expensive

The new CNR architecture will sync with the distributions repositories on a regular basis making CNR up-to-date & equal to the distribution (IOW that's not an issue with the new CNR)...
