Linspire to be based on Kubuntu
March 12th, 2007 by jamesFrom the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter comes word that Linspire is moving to Kubuntu as its base and will be the first Ubuntu-based distribution to offer Click and Run.
From the newsletter:
Linspire announced that they will be switching to base their distribution off Ubuntu. With their polished KDE desktop this makes Linspire the latest in the impressive list of operating systems based off Kubuntu.
It was also announced that Linspire’s Click and Run install programme would be added to the Ubuntu archive, giving users of all Ubuntu distributions easy access to a large range of free and proprietry software.
I’m curious to see how this improves both Linspire and Ubuntu. Ubuntu and Linspire pride themselves on being distributions for the masses. Both distributions will be able to benefit from each other. There’s always another Linux distribution to try and here’s another one I’m looking forward to checking out.
