[edit] Relation to Linspire?
So is Freespire a project of Linspire, and has it always been?--Darrelljon 12:25, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
- I think the RTFA article provides sufficient information to answer that question. Chris Cunningham 16:43, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
- Should SquiggleOS have a seperate article then?--Darrelljon 19:37, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
- It didn't really exist for long enough to generate an article's worth of material. A redirect to here mght be justified, bu that's about it. Chris Cunningham 23:54, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dead references
Someone at Freespire has been dropping pages. The first ref is now dead. Chris Cunningham 18:48, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Unfair deletion
- I posted brief useful instructions for how to make Freespire more secure by making sudo require a password.
It was deleted by someone who commented "not a guide book." I think the deletion was totally unfair. I've seen a lot of configuration notes and instructions on a lot of Wikipedia pages about other Linux distributions and computer programs.

- Perhaps you should write something about the controversy around their root/sudo methods - in a purely factual format; then provide a reference to the discussion. --Shawn McCuan 07:12, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] FOSS
Does the default installation really have no proprietary software? I find that highly unlikely. Does anyone have a source? Superm401 - Talk 01:18, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
