    Linspire aka Lindows, tried yet?

    Hi,
    I may come back soon, but does anyone know if I can use Linspire for this?

    I am going to try Linspire soon and
    Although it is Linux based, Linspire seems to be slightly different, from what I have read.

    Tks ahead of time.

    Linspire should run this just fine. I believe it uses Sun's JDK, with probably others available as well.

    Tnks +

    Thank you for the reply.
    I have since heard/read that Linspire is based on: Debian Linux
    - Debian Linux is based on: GNU(OS tools)/Linux(kernel)
    - Linux is based on: Unix

    Looking for software to run:
    If I were using anything other than Linspire or Debian GNU/Linux,
    I would feel safe running anything written for Unix, but, I'm not.

    I am hoping that trying to run something not written for Linspire will give me some kind of warning.

    I should have Linspire by thursday and vacation starting friday; I will be full of hum's and ha's next week. lol

    Wishing myself luck.

    well, Linspire is installed.
    If you try to try it, i suggest playing close attention to video card list.

    i'm not going to give them a credit card number for the 15day trial so i won't be installing any fun stuff soon.

    Have a good one.
