www.linspire.com

Follow the info to grab the .torrent file and you're set :-)

241458 2004-06-04 02:41:00 ah...but is it any good,how would it compare to Arc or fedora?

The real question being,is it worth not only getting but using?

241459 2004-06-04 02:57:00 I´m keen on getting a copy if anyone downloading it wants to sell me a disk. rmcb (164)
241460 2004-06-04 03:03:00 Good question - Im downloading it now... 1.4% :-(

Ark Linux is also geared towards the Home User, but sadly its still in Alpha stages although its looking very promising!

Xandros costs about 3x more than Linspire

Fedora is not aimed at the average Joe at home. I think its just an "all-rounder" distro IMO - Why have Server software like Squid or Bind included in a Distro for the Average Joe who's simply sick of this:

Fear And Loathing Fueling The Virus Revolt (www.linspire.com)

If you were looking at being a first-time Linux user for General Home Use, then give Ark a look if not Linspire. I cant vouch personally for Linspire but I CAN for Ark. My family really like it :-)
