Today ReviewLinux.Com installed the latest Freespire 1.0.13.  We had no problem downloading from Freespire.org ( Download ).  Here is a feature list of Freespire which can be seen at Freespire.org

Freespire...

  • Is a community-driven, Debian-based Linux distribution.
  • Is always made available for free use, distribution and modification, now and forever.
  • Is powerful enough for the most sophisticated Linux user or developer, yet easy enough for someone completely new to Linux.
  • Is available with 100% free, open source software or with the option to include legally licensed, 3rd party codecs, drivers and software.
  • Legally supports (or has one-click access to support): MP3, DVD, Windows Media, QuickTime, Java, Flash, Real, ATI drivers, nVidia drivers, Adobe Acrobat Reader, proprietary WiFi drivers, fonts, and so on.
  • Provides free access to the entire Freespire open source application pool using apt-get.
  • Offers optional use of the Linspire CNR (click and run) Service. The CNR Client is open source.
  • Includes a total development environment, which can be easily expanded using apt-get or CNR.
  • Provides easy-to-use yet advanced installation and configuration options.
  • Utilizes the community IRMA project to provide Freespire in dozens of different languages.
  • Is community supported at no charge, with optional enhanced support available.

We installed Freespire 1.0.13 to our hard drive and basically let Freespire manage the partitioning.  The install went smoothly.  See below our screen shots of the install process.

     

     

   


The above screenshots show the whole installation process and really how simple it can be.  Freespire installed perfectly onto our system.

The below screenshots are after our installation process had ended.  The screenshots are showing the first boot-up of Freespire 1.0.13.





     

     

Conclusions

The point of this screenshot tour is to show really how easy it is to install Freespire 1.0.13 to your computer.  We had an available Linux partition so that helped to speed up the install process.  In later articles we may discuss the CNR (click and run) process and to find out for ourselves if it really is as easy as Freespire says.

Overall Freespire is well..... Free and thus we like it....
