ADVERTISEMENTS

Previously i write a post about the Koobox Mini Linux Computer. This box is install with Freespire which is a no-cost version of the Linspire operating system . Freespire beta has been release until version 2 and this linux distribution is quite popular on the long list of software and drivers that are available for download at no cost.

Why Freespire so great:

• Freedom of choice, with a mix of FOSS (free open source software) and 3rd-part, legally licensed, proprietary software.
• Multimedia support of MP3, Windows Media, QuickTime, Real, Java, Flash, etc. You should be able to use all of these files, right out of the box, without doing anything: http://linspire.com/filetypes
• Plug-N-Play hardware support from nVidia, ATI, Intel, and many others, right out of the box, without installing anything.

Freepsire Core OS will be two versions available:

• Freespire - This is the regular, complete version, comprised largely of open source software, but which also includes proprietary codecs, drivers and applications for an enhanced, “out-of-the-box” user experience. (Visit the Summary of Proprietary Components page for a detailed list of the licensed software used in this version.)
• Freespire OSS Edition - This version removes any software that isn’t licensed as open source. This version will have limited functionality, as it will not, out-of-the box, support MP3, Real, Java, Flash, QuickTime, Windows Media, ATI drivers, nVidia drivers, etc.

My Note

Freespire is more similar like Windows and no hard time for Windows user to use Freespire, you can decide what software they want to install on their systems, be that proprietary or open source during the installation. I recommend you take a look on the screenshot of Freespire linux OS. You will love it after you see the screenshot.
The Freespire Linux still remain a beta software. i advise that you test on tests computer to avoid lost your valueable data.
