Talk:Freespire

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)

Dead references

Someone at Freespire has been dropping pages. The first ref is now dead. Chris Cunningham 18:48, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

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. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Smccuan (talk • contribs) 07:11, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

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)

Fair use rationale for Image:Freespire logo.png

Image:Freespire logo.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 08:49, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Freespire 2.0 has been released about a couple of hours ago. Could someone edit version numbers and summarly list changes for 2.0 here, kthx. --Omega Said 06:53, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

You can definitely edit the version numbers. You can also list changes if you know which changes should be mentioned.--Chealer 02:08, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Ubuntu

Is Freespire based on Ubuntu? The article as of now says that both Freespire and Linspire are based on Ubuntu . 24.8.231.58 00:21, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
